Please Support L.A. Taxi Workers Alliance - August 28 Fundraiser (On behalf of Betty Hung):
Dear Friends, I'm writing to ask that you support the L.A. Taxi Workers Alliance (LATWA) by purchasing tickets to LATWA's upcoming fundraiser on Sunday, August 28, from 6 pm to 9 pm at St. Mary's Ethiopian Orthodox Church. As many of you know, I've been working with LATWA since its founding in 2005 and continue to be inspired by the courage and commitment of the taxi workers who lead LATWA's heroic efforts to organize against taxi company greed and exploitation to achieve real justice for taxi workers. LATWA is a worker-led organization with a minimal budget and needs your support. With a board composed exclusively of current and former drivers, LATWA is led by Sentayehu Silassie who drove a cab for 18 years until he was retaliated against for speaking out against taxi company abuses. For the first time in decades - because of LATWA - there is real hope amongst the 3,500 predominantly immigrant taxi workers in Los Angeles that the end will come for the current system of sweatshops on wheels. Please help LATWA to continue its critical organizing that brings together taxi drivers of different races and backgrounds to fight in unity for justice! You can rsvp Betty Hung at [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) or to Sentayehu Silassie at [email protected] or 323-376-9703.
