With its headquarters in downtown DC at 6th and F Streets, staff and members of the International Union of Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers see hunger and homelessness on the streets of the nation’s capitol first-hand every day.
That’s a big reason the Bricklayers participate in the Holiday Basket Program now underway, organized by the Metro Washington Council’s Community Services Agency. "It's about strengthening and uplifting our communities,” said Bricklayers Executive Board Secretary Bobbie Haut last week when she and her colleagues Susan Flaherty and Mark Callis dropped off donations.

On this weekend’s labor calendar, do not miss the DC Labor Chorus 20th Anniversary Concert this Saturday, December 1, 7:30pm at the Tommy Douglas Conference Center in Silver Spring. Admission is free and so is the solidarity; I know I’ll be there! Details at dclabor.org, click on Calendar.
In today’s labor history, on this date in 1854, “Fighting Mary” Eliza McDowell, also known as the “Angel of the Stockyards,” was born in Chicago. As a social worker she helped organize the first women’s local of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters Union in 1902.
Today’s labor quote is from “None of Us Are Free” by Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, and Brenda Russell, performed here by the DC Labor Chorus:
None of us are free
None of us are free, if one of us are chained
None of us are free
It's a simple truth we all need, just to hear and to see
None of us are free, if one of us is chained
None of us are free
