ALL US PORTS ON THE WEST COAST WILL BE CLOSED MAY 1!!!!

No Peace - No Work!
End the war now -
Bring our troops home!

On May Day, the historic international working class holiday, there will
be two important labor marches that OWLS hopes you will join us at. The
first is a labor march against the war, and the second is a march to
support immigrant rights. Organized Workers for Labor Solidarity (OWLS) is
organizing contingents to participate in both. If you can be there with
us, bring your union jackets, picket signs, or banners. And your
co-workers! Hope to see you at either one, or both! See details below. In
solidarity,
Organized Workers for Labor Solidarity (OWLS)
