Friday, April 19, 2013
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Activists from the Paid Sick Days for All
Coalition and the Working Families Party
picketed Monday’s DC City Council At-Large
candidate forum at the Black Cat. Over two
dozen activists rallied for an increase in
DC’s minimum wage and paid sick days
legislation that includes restaurant workers.
“These are issues that DC voters
overwhelmingly support,” says organizer
Monica Kamen, who hopes that all the candidates
for the April 23 DC Special Election are paying
attention to these actions.
