Subject: [LOC Talk] Tomorrow!!! "99 Picket Lines" for justice in the workplace!!
Please join us tomorrow for two important "99 Picket Line" actions
for dignity and justice in the workplace!
12:30 PM
Occupy Mark Samson's Office in Support of Laundry Workers Center!
CALLING ALL OCCUPIERS! Join us tomorrow at 12:30 PM on the corner of 29th St. and Park Avenue. We will be filing into Mark Samsons office, the owner of Hot and Crusty, who has refused to respect the dignity of LWC members organizing in the workplace. Workers have demanded the reinstatement of Gretel Areco, a female co-worker who was sexually harassed and forced from her job. Samson has refused to reinstate her out of fear of her continued organizing efforts and the power of the solidarity of Hot and Crusty workers. Samson, who heads private equity firm Praesidian Capital, has also refused to recognize the workers newly formed labor organization, the Hot and Crusty Workers Association, and has terminated negotiations until they stop their public campaign. These brave workers have won historic gains in only a few short months, and need our support in showing Samson they are not alone!
On Thursday, OWS supporters and allies of LWC will take to the offices of Praesidian Capital to demand the rights of workers be respected--or WE'LL BE BACK!
Sneak out for a quick lunch break for worker justice!
Please call (914) 557-6408 with any questions.
4-6 PM
Justice for Pat and All Abused Domestic Workers!
Pat Francois is a domestic worker who has fought tirelessly with Domestic Workers United for the rights of nannies, housekeepers, and elderly caregivers. In 2008, Pat was physically assaulted by her employer while trying to protect the little girl she cared for from her fathers verbal abuse, and nearly 3 1/2 years later, justice has yet to be served. Pat was punched in the face, beaten on her hand and called a"stupid black b***ch" by Matthew Mazar when she tried to call the police. While Mazar walks free, and he and his wife Sheryl Shade both enjoy successful careers and a swanky 1%'er lifestyle, Pat has gone without work for over 3 years now while bravely battling breast cancer.
Pat is the kind of tireless advocate for worker and immigrant rights we should all be so blessed to work with, and has always treated the struggles of other workers as though they are her own. She has supported Occupy Wall Street from the first days of the encampment, and regularly checks in on our work even as she deals with the pain of her chemotherapy treatments. She needs our support now more than ever. We cannot allow this brutal, racist and sexist attack on Pat, or any other community members, to go unanswered. She has spent her life fighting side by side with other sisters and brothers in struggle, and her fight is very much our own.
There will be a rally on Thursday evening from 4-6PM at 10 East 40th street (between 5th and Madison) in front of Sheryl Shade's advertising firm, Shade Global. Domestic Workers United, the National Domestic Workers Alliance and countless allies and supporters will be rallying together to demand the respect and justice Pat deserves. Please join us. Our numbers and strength will send a clear message to Mazar and Shade that we're not going anywhere until justice is served.
Please sign the Change.org petition in support of Pat here:

For more details/questions about the action, please call Nastaran at (914)557-6408 or the DWU office at (212) 481-5747.

This year I have all but completely stopped e-mailing event
announcements. Please send any NYC left event announcements that
you find directly to:
...as well as to me here.
No subscription needed. Where possible, please no file
attachments. Send using TO: (not BCC:). In-person, primarily
political events only. Submission approvals use no consistent,
specific political line. Progressive events, both for sx worker
rights and against sx work, are welcome. Events both for and
against Zimbabwe, Tibet or Darfur are similarly ok. Occasionally I
post the rare Holocaust event that doesn't seem Rightist or like some
Brand Israel front group. Call me any hour with sincere questions
about using this list.
See msg. archive at
http://snipurl.com/nyprotest .
Meanwhile I for one am convinced that we urgently need some sort of
sustainable and collective system for communicating event announcements
between NYC left factions and groups. Please help figure out how to
do that.
