March to honor Justice for Janitors

SEIU Local 26 will commemorate the 15th anniversary of the first Justice For Janitors campaign with a march through downtown Minneapolis Wednesday, June 15. The Twin Cities march will begin at 11:30 a.m. at the United Labor Centre, 312 Central Ave. SE, and end with a 12:30 p.m. rally at the Hennepin County Government Center.

The march honors the 1991 campaign by janitors in Los Angeles. Police responded violently to a demonstration on June 15, ultimately creating a backlash of public support.

For information, contact Jeannette Rebar at 612-331-8336.
