Submitted on Thu, 12/20/2007 - 1:07pm
The NYC IWW has 4 major 460/640 events over the next 3 months. We are inviting fellow workers to New York to take part in these events. We can provide housing and any other needs you might have.Too far and can't make it? Perhaps you'd like to do a solidarity event in your hometown!
We hope you can participate in some way.
