support the Chentex struggle... we got kicked out of the store pretty
quickly, but 30 of us spent a half-hour sweatshop-caroling, leafletting,
and talking to shoppers.. here's more info ...

Subject: Kohl's Wrap-Up
Yesterday we had a solid action at the Kohl's Department Store in Novi Michigan. We
left East Quad at approximately 12 PM and headed for Novi. Once we arrived, the
Christmas carolers, guerilla theatre people, and clothing stuffers went to their
respective locations inside. The Christmas carolers starting singing, the stuffers
starting stuffing, and Larry Montgomery (Scott T.) and Phil Knight (Joe) started
chatting near the front of the store. Kohl's management was very quick to react and
made the carolers leave along with everyone in the store. I quickly went around and
made sure everyone was out of the store (except Matt, sorry!) since the police were on
the way. Everyone went across the parking lot to the food/diet center and sang
Christmas Carols while the cops arrived. Kevin and Rachel talked with the cops and
they said that we could protest in front of the store, just not inside because he (the
cop) didn't think that Kohl's owned the parking lot. Everyone then marched back to
the store and we sang Christmas Carols, Scott T. talked over the bullhorn, and we
passed out literature to interested shoppers. We had a good reaction up front with
people listening and seeming interested in what we were doing. This lasted a little
while until Kohl's called the police again, got the landlord to let the cops know that
they did indeed own the parking lot.
We then left.
Overall, things went pretty well. It would have been nice to have had Daily coverage
or any sort of coverage, but our presence was felt. I may have left some things out
on accident, so respond with thoughts...
Have a great day everyone, and thanks for your support!
