Join us on Halloween as March for Justice in Downtown

 

October 31, 2007, Noon

Meet at the Civic Center in Downtown, 1100 3rd Ave.

 

On Justice for Janitors Day, thousands of janitors and community members throughout California stood together to demand justice, dignity and health care in our communities. Since then, hundreds of janitors in San Diego have won the right to a fair process to join the union and are on their way to securing a better future for their families. 

 

But the struggle continues!  In 2008 26,000 janitors throughout the West Coast will be fighting for a better quality of life in their contract campaign.  Join us as we walk together for justice in our communities!

 

If you have any questions, call Sandra or Kristen, 619-641-3050.

our exhibition will feature the unique "calacas" and "catrinas" of Carolina Alvarado, as well as the beautiful works of painter Yolanda
Romero. In addition, this being our final "Dia de los Muertos" celebration, all other related pieces will be at liquidation prices.

So come celebrate this yearly tradition with us one last time!
