Woodfin Workers FIRED!!! Emergency Action Thursday May 3rd, 5pm We are deeply distraught to announce that the Woodfin Suites Hotel in Emeryville fired 11 workers todayin apparent retaliation for blowing the whistle on the hotel's violation of Emeryville's living wage ordinance. These firings are a malicious attack not just on hard-working housekeepers and their families, but also on our community's values of immigrant workers' rights, democracy, and justice. We are writing to ask you to stand beside Woodfin workers as they fight for reinstatement. The firings come after 7 months of intense, sustained protests by workers, residents, faith leaders, and immigrant rights advocates. But as the chant goes, "The Woodfin ain't seen nothin' yet." We will not abandon the workers, but rather demand accountability from the Woodfin and the city council. We ask you to join us in sending a strong and immediate message to the hotel that the terminations are unethical, and to the city that they must hold the Woodfin responsible and defend the workers' jobs. 510.893.7106 Start: 12:00 pm

May 1st is International Worker’s Day, and there will be a march in San Francisco for immigrant rights. This was a lot of fun last year, and with the recent raids and attacks on immigrant communities all over the country and here in the Bay Area, this is an important march. The Movement for Unconditional Amnesty is organizing this event. People will gather at Dolores Park at 12:00 noon for a rally, and march to Civic Center starting at 1:00. Definite | ||

Please join us for a Mothers' Day Protest at the Woodfin Suites Hotel in Emeryville this Sunday, May 13th from 10 AM – 3 PM. The Woodfin is holding an extravagant Mothers' Day Brunch at the hotel's restaurant, "Emery Grille." Stand with fired workers and their children as we inform arriving guests to honor the boycott and not to celebrate their mothers at a hotel that fired working moms. For more info: (Note, the picket is officially from 10am-3pm, but the organizers are trying to get the most people there from 11am to 1pm, and if people can't stay for the whole 2 hours, that'd be fine, too. ideally, we'd have a quorum there for at least an hour at some point. just indicate when you signup what time you think you can be there. thanks! -derek) Start: 5:00 pm

(This is obviously not a Lucha event, but Rajeev is an incredible musician, and I'm definitely planning to go, so I wanted to share the info in case anyone else is interested in seeing what promises to be a fantasitic performance). RAJEEV TARANATH accompanied by ABHIMAN KAUSHAL on tabla "Rajeev Taranath is making music that moves sublimely from brooding introspection to climaxes of breathtaking excitement." - New Classic/Online World Music Magazine 2003 "What a lovely mind for swara and tone Rajeev Taranath displays! Each note leaves a lovely, languishing trail of tone behind it." - The Economic Times, New Delhi Friday, May 18th, 8 pm 510-517-8952 | ||
