Great Small Works member Jenny Romaine will join Jews for Racial and Economic Justice and Domestic Workers United TODAY in a community/labor march to Wall Street. Puppet chickens, the Sukkos Mob, and a squawk for economic justice!
When: Wednesday, October 5th, 4:30 PM
Where: Meet at City Hall (250 Broadway) Look for the JFREJ Banner, the giant shofar, and several giant chickens.
Join unions, worker and community organizations, and the rest of us that make up the 99% to demand that Wall Street and the wealthiest New Yorkers pay their fair share. Join JFREJ as we march to Wall Street with Domestic Workers United and many of our other allies to show the faces of New Yorkers hardest hit by corporate greed and corruption.

BONK! Brooklyn's HONK! Festival
Just back from the HONK! Festival in Somerville, MA, Hungry March Band writes:
A week ago we learned that our fellow travelers from across the U.S.A., Chicago's Environmental Encroachment (EE) and Seattle's Titanium Sporkestra (Sporks) were coming to NEW YORK CITY after the 6th annual HONK! Festival in Boston, MA. Realizing it'd been two years since we'd hosted these folks in NYC at BONK! -- Brooklyn's response to HONK! - we jumped on this opportunity to make a show for our friends in New York City!
Join us and local Brooklyn Balkan-inspired favorites Raya Brass Band in welcoming EE and a good handful of SPORKS to NYC on Wednesday, October 5th.

"…As an organization MILK NOT JAILS seeks to mobilize and empower new political leaders for criminal justice and economic development reform. The campaign also expects to develop and test new social change strategies, both in it's focus on overcoming the obstacles to criminal justice reform and in its creation of economic incentives-- in this case a dairy marketing cooperative-- for political alliance building."
