Workers' Center First Annual Picnic to Take Place, Saturday, September 29th, from 1-5 p.m. in Stewart Park (Ithaca)--Theme: Get Up, Stand Up; Stand Up for Your Rights!
 Please join the Tompkins County Workers' Center as we hold our first-ever Annual Picnic on Saturday, September 29th, from 1-5 p.m. in the large pavilion at Stewart Park in Ithaca. The public is invited; free meat, veggie burger, hot dogs, beverages, and ice cream will be provided. Folks are encouraged to bring a dish-to-pass as well. Musicians and speakers will focus on themes of organizing around workers' rights issues. There will be activities for kids.
 

The theme of the Picnic is: "Get Up, Stand Up; Stand Up for Your Rights", a central organizing principle of the Workers' Center.
 

>From the Workers' Center's Mission Statement: "We seek to inform, educate and shape community values and standards of employer behavior with respect to workplace rights and the treatment of low-income people. We support the use of diverse strategies to achieve social change, such as popular education, public testimony (telling what is really happening in our workplaces and in the lives of low-income people), public protests, direct action, dialogue with employers, and legislative campaigns."
 

For more information, and/or if your organization would like to "table" at the Picnic, please contact the Workers' Center at 269-0409

As long as there is a criminal element, I'm of it.  
As long as there is a soul in prison, I am not free."
