- Description:
- Alternative title: Boycott Grapes! Boycott Safeway! Announces: Grapes sold by Safeway contain Aldrin, a substance poisonous to humans. Quote from document: "Growers are poisoning farmworkers: 850-1000 deaths and 80,000-90,000 injuries are caused by pesticides every year in the U.S." Quote from document: "Safeway sells poison grapes because its directors are growers: Safeway Directors control a total of 1,000,000 acres of agricultural land. They receive a total of $6,972,246 in federal subsidies." Note on date: Although 1971 is penciled on the document, this side of the flier was most likely created in 1969, shortly after the newspaper articles it reprints were published. WashPIRG has covered the page with an X and written, "recycled: read other side."
