LA Offices

Bechtel, along with Halliburton, recieves billions to implement US control over Iraq's resources.
Their efforts to privatize water in many countries was, in Bolivia, defeated by a grassroots rebellion.
Women, hardest hit by their policies,
are central to the fight against Bechtel, starting with grandmothers from Big Mountain who fought displacement.
Bechtel oversees the nuclear dumpsite at Yucca Mountain
Former Secretary of State George Shultz is currently on the board of the Bechtel Corporation. Shultz is California Gov.-elect Schwartzeneger's economic advisor.
Last April, the Bush administration gave Bechtel the first big Iraqi reconstruction contract, a prized $680 million deal over 18 months.
Join women and men in this anti-military/anti-corporate protest. COSTUMES WELCOME.
