Mark Your Calendar: Bangladesh demo today, anti-Puzder rally tomorrow

“Free Jailed Unionists & Workers”: Add your voice to those demanding “Free Jailed Unionists and Workers!” today at noon at the Bangladesh Embassy. Dozens of Bangladeshi labor activists have been jailed after workers at 20 garment factories in Bangladesh held peaceful walk-outs last December to call for a higher wage. Today’s noontime demo is one of many around the globe in solidarity. 

​Workers’ Rally to Stop Puzder: Working people will gather at Upper Senate Park tomorrow morning for a rally to raise their voices against Andy Puzder, President Trump's nominee to be Labor Secretary. There is growing opposition to Puzder’s nomination – he has a track record of killing jobs, violating labor laws, and cutting wages – this rally will demonstrate broad opposition as his confirmation hearing begins. (see Calendar, right, for complete details on both events)
