Coalition Against Coke Contracts

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has a five year exclusive contract with the Coca-Cola that is up for renewal in 2007. This exclusive contract implies that the only beverages you can drink on campus are manufactured by Coca-Cola.

Coalition Against Coke Contracts (CACC), is a broad coalition of campus and community groups in Champaign-Urbana that has mobilized to demand that the University cut its contract with Coke since it has repeatedly violated labor rights in Colombia, and is responsible for severe environmental abuse in India.
