Join the SENS-UAW Precarity Circus before the Joe Hill event!
A number of us plan to attend the Joe Hill celebration and hope you will join us. We will also hold our first and, hopefully, last Precarity Circus to demonstrate the difficulty of life without a union. The Precarity Circus will feature clowns struggling to keep all the balls in the air, unstable balancers, and inflexible contortionists. If you would like to join our circus, please come prepared to demonstrate the challenging labor conditions we face at The New School. We will have face paint and snacks — bring your own costume and sense of humor.
Not much of a performer? No problem. Volunteers are welcome to distribute leaflets, hold signs, and take pictures and, of course, wear one of the newly-created, union-printed SENS-UAW t-shirts.
Please contact sensuaw@gmail.com for more information, or join us Friday afternoon as we prepare starting at 5:30 pm in the Social Justice Hub, 63 5th Avenue room 513. Or just show up at 6:15 outside Tishman Auditorium to help distribute information about our campaign to allies in the labor movement and broader community attending the Joe Hill event.
