Hundreds of stories have been written
about the Taco Bell boycott and the CIW's work against
modern-day slavery since 2001 in local and national
papers, as well as in university dailies and religious
news services across the country. However, due to changes
in many commercial media web sites, and the increasing
use of registration or pay requirements to access sites,
many of the stories are no longer available on the net.
The links below are a collection of those articles still
available by good old fashioned clicking -- so click
away and enjoy the free internet (while you still can)...
