August 12, 2002 This article is part of TheBody.com's archive. Because it contains information that may no longer be accurate, this article should only be considered a historical document. Pedestrians in Harvard Square had their pick of rallies Saturday; students protested Coca-Cola's health care policy in Africa at 2 PM, and a different group demonstrated later against GAP's labor policies in Central America. The rally against Coca-Cola, sponsored by Harvard's AIDS Coalition, drew about 50 students who contended that Coca-Cola is the largest employer on the continent but does not extend health benefits to 100,000 contract employees and their families, many of whom are HIV-positive. "Why is it you can get a soda anywhere in Africa, but people infected with HIV can't get medication?" asked organizer Florence Twu.
