Community Church of Boston, 565 Boyleston St, Copley Square
7:00 pm, Thursday July 5
Update: Our first Action in support of striking janitors was a success!
About 25 students and janitors attended our first action to show support
for janitors trying to unionize in Balitmore who work for Boston
Properties. The janitors are paid poverty level wages with no full-time
work and few benefits. Students managed to sneak around police into a
Boston Properties office building to drop a banner and rally briefly
inside! After getting thrown out the protest moved outside to picket
and leaflet as tenants left work. Drawing news coverage and interest
from the office tenants we put pressure on Boston Properties to do the
right thing.
SOLIDARITY SUMMER:

and connect YOU and youth activists all over the city to:
