[act-ma] THU 10/23, 7:30 PM, WORKER PANEL ON DISCRIMINATION BY HARVARD UNIVERSITY

[Geoff Carens]

Dear All,

This Thursday evening at 7:30 pm, Harvard University workers will
participate in a panel discussion on discrimination in employment at the
world's richest university. You're invited! Hear from workers who perform
such essential tasks as delivering mail, serving students food, and
maintaining Harvard's properties, and who have been disciplined and/or
terminated for discriminatory reasons. The event is being organized by a
coalition <http://twoharvards.wordpress.com/about/> of students and workers
at Harvard, who are deeply disturbed by consistent and credible reports of
discrimination on the basis of race, gender, country of origin, sexual
preference and ability. *Such discrimination not only harms the workers who
are directly affected, but also creates an unsafe environment for all
workers, students, and members of the wider community. *Learn how you can
help hold Harvard accountable for the treatment of those who make the
university function. The discussion will take place at the Democracy
Center, 45 Mount Auburn Street in Cambridge (steps from the Harvard Square
Red Line MBTA station). The Facebook event is here

Please forward this message as widely as possible.

In Solidarity,

Geoff
