Last night, as Bechtel vigil was ending, the Global Women's Strike

organized a spur-of-the-moment march with our anti-corporate/military

occupation signs (many of them painted by Highland Park vigiler Jennifer

Murphy) to corner of Figueroa and 8th. That's where Justice for Janitors

have an encampment (and hunger strikers) outside a building whose owner,

Mani Brothers, is refusing to provide health insurance.

We asked the janitors what kind of support they need from need from the

rest of us.

Below is message from janitors asking you to call Mani Brothers to support

the janitors' Fast for Justice. Please circulate to your local vigil

groups!

TURKEY OR MEDICINE?

Doctors join workers today to call on Los Angeles-area corporations to do

the right thing and provide health insurance.

Because when they don't all of LA suffers.

Grocery workers, janitors and others are fasting to ensure everyone has

access to affordable health care. 43 million Americans are uninsured and

the number keeps growing.

It's time to say "Enough is Enough!"

This Thanksgiving tell companies like Mani Brothers, the owner of this

building, to set a positive example in Southern California and help ensure

that all working people have health care benefits and can enjoy a "Happy

Thanksgiving."

CALL SIMON MANI AT (213) 430-0500

Here's hoping each of you will take a few moments from your busy holiday

schedule to Invest in Caring by making that call.

Yours for a world that invests in caring not killing,
