Fourth Annual JwJ and VOZ Solidarity Salsa Party Saturday

Salsa 09

Many of you know we have been working to support VOZ, Workers’  Rights Education Project, in its organizing efforts with day laborers.  For the past three years we have joined with them in a solidarity salsa party to bring together individuals that are a part of and support both of our organizations for dancing, fun and fundraising.  This year, the Day Labor Center, newly named the Martin Luther King Jr Worker Center turned one year old.   With this historic opening, Portland has joined the ranks of other US cities that have successfully used day labor sites as alternatives to street corner hiring.  In these hard economic times, the MLK Worker Center gives Portland’s day laborers a safe and secure place to seek decent employment, and help in the fight to raise the bar for all workers. 

This year's Salsa Party will be fun for everyone, and will include dance lessons, food and a silent auction.  You can help by spreading the word, and helping to sell tickets.  The tickets are $15 in advance and $20at the door.  They include admission to the event, food and dance lessons.  To more information or to purchase a ticket call Eliana at 503-236-5573.
