Rally Monday 5:30pm for the Rochester 19, Fired Holiday Inn Workers

02/04/2007

To all,

The winter has turned very cold, but the fight for standards in our community is heating up. We hope you will brave the cold and join us for a rally tomorrow. What a statement it will make when the community braves the cold to rally for Justice!

Warmest regards,

Bob Rouillard

As 19 of your brothers and sisters, we were thrown out on the streets 4 days before Christmas from the Holiday Inn Express downtown when a Texas Millionaire bought our facility. We are wrapping up our first month out on the streets, daily picketing and talking to the community. The community supports our fight. And we are calling on you to support our fight.

Our fight asks the question, "Are we going to allow a Texas millionaire to come in to our community and destroy our standards? Or are we going to stand up for the standards of our community?"

Rally for the Rochester 19
Monday, February 5th at 5:30pm
2nd Phase of Campaign Kickoff
Location: Holiday Inn Express downtown, 220 South Broadway, Rochester

- We seek your support by attending a demonstration in front of the Holiday Inn Express. We will be calling on our public officials to openly support the former Holiday Inn Express workers
