Written by Laura Boston, Houston Interfaith Worker Justice Organizer
Houston Interfaith Worker Justice would like to announce the following:
We’re excited to invite you onto the Justice Bus on Thursday, November 19th, 2009. This is the perfect opportunity to put your faith and values in action! The Justice Bus and its riders will be a mobile protest pressuring abusive employers of specific cases to change their ways, and as a mode of raising awareness of labor abuses. Give us a call at 713-862-8222 so we can put you on the list!
On the way to each stop, workers will give a breif overview of the situation, our efforts thus far, and our goals for the visit.
Ideally we’d like to have the pleasure of your company the whole day, but we understand busy schedules. So, if not the whole day, you can meet us at our lunch stop, or meet us at a stop and follow behind the bus. Give us a call and we’ll be happy to give out our cell phone numbers and addresses for the stops (we just don’t want to be expected).
