Happy Hour to Support Iraq Labor Tour in DC
Three Iraqi labor leaders have been assassinated this year. US Labor Against the War is bringing six Iraqi labor leaders to the US, and DC Labor for Peace and Justice is sponsoring a happy hour to raise money for their stay in DC from June 10 to 15. Help bring Iraqis to DC and attend the upcoming events, where you will hear about life in Iraq and how Iraqi workers fare under the coalition – from Iraqis who are living there.
The happy hour is on Wednesday, June 1, from 6 to 9 p.m., at Karma (corner of 19th and I Streets NW). Admission is $8, with live music and drink specials all night.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
