Show up in Stamford. Solidarity to the workers of the Hilton and workers throughout the world who will on that day be fighting for workingwomen.

What: Join Connecticut members of the International Women’s Strike at “Feminists Stand with the Hilton Hotel Workers!” We will make a show of support for the hotel workers and especially the housekeepers who helped to lead a successful union recognition drive. Now they are struggling for a decent contract with higher wages, better heath care, and pensions.

When: Thursday, March 8, 2:30-5:00 p.m.

Where: 1 First Stamford Place, Stamford, CT 06902. We will have a presence with signs outside the front door while a delegation visits the hotel management to explain that the women’s movement is supporting the workers. From 3:00 to 5:00 pm there is a shift change and female hotel workers will join us outside.

Can you join us to say Feminists Stand with the Hilton Hotel Workers. If so, please
