This Sunday, May 3rd, the CLEAN Carwash Campaign and Progressive Jewish Alliance will be picketing the Vermont Hand Wash at 1666 N. Vermont Avenue from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Although no carwash in Los Angeles can be described as “good,” the owners of the Vermont Hand Wash in Los Feliz are among the worst in the industry. By protesting the Vermont Hand Wash, we hope to send a message to other carwashes throughout the city. For more information, visit cleancarwashla.org.

Please repost or link to this message on your blog, or forward this to any Los Angeles residents you might know.

Also, please leave a comment if you or someone you know plans to attend. Thanks!

    I tend to be skeptical of any call for a boycott, even if I agree with the organizers in principle, because I’ve encountered too many that involved vague allegations and unrealistic expectations.

    However, if you check out the Clean Car Wash web site, they offer a pdf file of “Boycott Information” at the following url: http://www.cleancarwashla.org/index.cfm?action=cat&categoryID=51badd85-1542-4813-999b-c3860ee7bfa4

    I found it helpful, and it contained specific examples of the unethical practices that the main web site only refers to in general terms.
