National Day of Action for Workers Rights and Fair Wages July 24th

SavetheDateColorfulJPG_600.jpg

On July 24th, we will raise our voices together with communities throughout the country to call for an increase in the federal minimum wage. We will launch the building of a movement that will no longer sit idly by while unscrupulous employers exploit hard-working men and women.  We will cry out enough is enough.  

Our traditions teach us to stand with the marginalized.  On July 24th, we will make a courageous, public stand that we will be ever vigilant in advocating for and organizing with workers at retail stores, car washes, supermarkets, airports, and at other low wage industries throughout the city. We will demand dignity and respect for all workers. 

Join us tomorrow from 4:00pm until 8:30pm at Union Square 14 st & Broadway, New York, New York 10003
