Honoring Those Who Were Pink Slipped Because They Fought Against Injustice in the Workplace
We Invite You To
PINK SHIRTWAIST ASSEMBLY — Part Two!
You can help create Pink Shirtwaists that Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition members will hold aloft on “The Line” Tuesday, March 6th
Have you heard about The Line?
Artists and activists are working together to plan The Line for March 6, 2012. The Line will be the world’s longest unemployment line stretching over three miles along Broadway, from the bull at Wall Street to Times Square. It will include 5000+ people holding pink slips over their heads.
The Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition will join The Line holding Pink Shirtwaists to remember those who were fired because they stood up for workplace justice.
We invite you stand with the Coalition on Broadway between 12th and 14th Streets, holding a pink slip AND a pink shirtwaist!
Email us at info@rememberthetrianglefire.org to join us on The Line!

We’ll be making our “pink shirtwaists” to hold in THE LINE — all are welcome, supplies will be provided. RSVP if you can come to Workers United offices on February 10th. rose@rememberthetrianglefire.org
