The major priority for IJSP and DWU right now is to mobilize people to go to Albany to get the Bill of Rights passed in the state legislature. The Bill of Rights is about getting paid vacation and sick days, notice and severance pay, protection from unjust firing and discrimination, and annual cost of living wage increases.
Join Domestic Workers United and its allies as we travel to Albany to support the bill on April 15 and May 20. Meet at 6am at Union Square, north side, in front of Barnes and Noble on 17th St.
As Erline (DWU member) says: "It's an experience. It's better than Disney World!"
To prepare for these Albany days, there are trainings scheduled on two Saturdays in April: April 5 and April 13. (You can come to either one.) The trainings will be helpful to anyone who hasn't been involved in this type of event before, or hasn't been deeply involved in DWU before; you'll learn what to expect, and what you can say and do during the legislative visits. The training will even include honing your Electric Slide skills!
Get in touch with Claire if you need more information.
