UANI
Launches Taxi of Tomorrow Ad Campaign
New York, NY
- United Against Nuclear
Iran (UANI) today ran ads
in Metro New York
newspapers that highlight its
Taxi of Tomorrow Campaign. The ads have a circulation of over
350,000 in
the New York metropolitan area. Click here to view the image
of the ad.
Referring to the ad campaign, UANI President, Ambassador Mark D.
Wallace, said:
UANI has called
on New York City to refuse to award the
Taxi of Tomorrow contract to companies that do business in
Iran. We call
on all New Yorkers to ensure the Mayor's office does not award the Taxi
of
Tomorrow contract to companies that do business in Iran.
UANI in January
called on New York
City to refuse to award the lucrative Taxi of Tomorrow contract to
companies that
conduct business in Iran. The Taxi of Tomorrow campaign is a
competition
designed to select New York City's exclusive taxi cab for a
decade. In
the ad, UANI declares, "No company that does business with Iran should
do
business with our city!"
Two of the three finalists for the lucrative contract, Japan's Nissan Motor Company
("Nissan") and
Turkey's Karsan Otomotiv
("Karsan"), do
business in Iran. Through their respective business
operations, Nissan
and Karsan are facilitating the Iranian government's ability to engage
in
behavior that runs directly counter to the security and values of the
people of
New York City.
