7& 8  GE Can Be Beat  An Interview with Kathryn Mulvey  Kathryn
Mulvey is the Executive Director of Infact. Since 1977, Infact
has been exposing life-threatening abuses by transnational
corporations and organizing grassroots campaigns to hold
corporations accountable to consumers and society at large. From
the Nestlé Boycott of the 1970s and 1980s over infant formula
marketing to today’s boycott of Kraft Foods –– owned by tobacco
giant Philip Morris –– Infact organizes to win concrete changes
in corporate policy and practice.   Multinational Monitor: Why
did Infact target GE? Kathryn Mulvey: We targeted GE as the
leader in 50 years of the production and promotion of nuclear
weapons in all phases of that business –– from design in the
Manhattan Project all the way through testing and delivery.  MM:
When did you start the campaign? We began the Nuclear
Weaponmakers Campaign in 1984, put GE on notice in 1985, and
launched the GE boycott on June 12,
