September 1, temporary workers and supporters will ride across Boston to bring
visibility to the oppressive labor conditions many low-wage workers experience
every day. <br>
<br>
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">Just as “Freedom Riders” united to
challenge Jim Crow laws fifty years ago, we are asking you to join hundreds of
others in this symbolic fight for better working conditions.</span></strong><br>
<br>
Gather in East Boston — an area known for hiring temp workers on street corners
— to perform and watch skits, hold a brief demonstration, and then board a bus
and additional vehicles to caravan to South Boston.<br>

legislation that would improve conditions for temp workers.<br>

The event will culminate with a delegation of temporary workers and community
