Remember Labor on Labor Day
Learn about the "Labor in the Pulpits" program and meet clergy, union organizers and others who are working together to put the “labor” back in Labor Day. More than 75 local congregations have already signed on to raise economic justice issues over the holiday weekend event, which is co-sponsored by Jews United for Justice and the Metro Washington Labor Council, AFL-CIO. All are welcome to attend an organizing meeting on Thursday, Aug. 14, at 6:30 p.m. at the Mount Vernon Place United Methodist Church, Ninth and Massachusetts NW (Metro: Gallery Place or Mount Vernon Square). For more information, call 202/483-1945 or send an e-mail here.
