gaudiorEspecially if you live in the Boston area:
Local Chapter 615 of the Service Employees International Union is having a march on
to support their contract negotiations. This is the cleaning staff and janitors of the New England area, particularly those who clean for major universities (like Harvard) and office buildings. They're hoping to be able to be hired as full-time workers with benefits, rather than what they currently do-- very hard work for hours just long enough that they can't get the rights and benefits of full-time workers. Come support them!
If you can't make it to the march*, please spread the word!
For more information, check out their website!

*like me, sadly-- that's exactly when my very first singing lesson is, and it's too late for me to reschedule. :(
