One year ago, Malaysia Goodson, a mother with a stroller, fell to her death because there were no elevators at a subway station. Thirty years ago, the Americans With Disabilities Act was turned into law. Three years ago, a lawsuit was filed against the MTA for failing to abide by that law.

We are holding a  = = >   rally at 60 Centre St. as this lawsuit goes into another round of delays in Judge Hagler's courtroom. Our demand is that the MTA sign a legally binding agreement to make the subways 100% accessible. We will then hold a vigil with family members of Malaysia Goodson, activists and elected officials to honor her. Malaysia's death will not be in vain. We will then proceed into Judge Hagler's courtroom to demand that justice be served.

This is a two-part action,  = = >   beginning at the steps of the New York State Supreme Court and then going into Judge Hagler's courtroom, Part 17, Room 335.

Join Rise and Resist in a silent protest in the main hall of Grand Central Station.  We will bring our NO RAIDS/CLOSE THE CAMPS/ABOLISH ICE banners, photographs of the children who have died in ICE custody, and photographs of the detention camps. We will also have flyers to hand out. Press will be invited.

With the Senate trial vote imminent, the media has stopped paying attention to the immigration crisis. We need to  keep protesting government immigration policies, and keep pressuring the administration to welcome immigrants and treat them fairly.

Stand with us for an hour to object to Border Patrol and ICE terrorizing immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. Tell your friends, acquaintances and co-workers to join us.

The #4, #5, #6, and #7 lines to 42 St.-Grand Central are accessible.

WOMEN RESTAURANT WORKERS & ALLIES PROTEST GOV. CUOMO’S EXCLUSION OF RESTAURANTS FROM TIPPED WORKER EXECUTIVE ACTION
BY ENGAGING IN MASS PUBLIC SELF-DEFENSE TRAINING
‘Women Workers Rising’ Action By One Fair Wage and One Billion Rising
Will Feature Women Celebrities and Performances Standing in Solidarity For One Fair Wage & Safe & Dignified Workplaces
 
In response to Governor Cuomo’s New Year’s Eve announcement that he would enact One Fair Wage – a full minimum wage with tips on top – for all tipped workers except restaurant workers, women restaurant workers and their allies will stage a mass public self-defense training in front of the Governor’s office. Playwright/Founder of V-Day/One Billion Rising
 Eve Ensler, One Billion Rising, actress Carmen LoBue, social justice artist Taína Asili, and the Resistance Revival Chorus will be joining One Fair Wage members and allies in demanding One Fair Wage and safe and dignified workplaces for all.
 
Given that New York State’s subminimum wage for tipped workers results in a 70% female workforce having to tolerate the highest rates of sexual harassment of any industry in order to feed their families in tips, women in the restaurant industry are demanding to be included in the One Fair Wage executive action. As long as they have a subminimum wage, they must learn to defend themselves from sexual violence in the workplace in order earn a living in tips.
 
WHAT: MASS PUBLIC SELF-DEFENSE TRAINING BY RESTAURANT WORKERS & ALLIES
 
WHEN: Monday, February 3, 2020, 12:00PM
 
WHERE: Governor Cuomo’s New York City Office – 633 3rd Avenue

One Fair Wage President Saru Jayaraman states, “Even though he announced that he would review the subminimum wage in 2017 specifically in order to address sexual harassment in the restaurant industry, Governor Cuomo instead gave One Fair Wage to other tipped workers and excluded restaurant workers – thus leaving them vulnerable to the highest rates of sexual harassment of any industry because of their reliance on tips. At a time that Pres. Trump is taking tipped workers’ federal rights a way, instead of rolling over to the power of the National Restaurant Association, Gov. Cuomo should follow through and enact One Fair Wage for all.”

Eve Ensler of One Billion Rising says, “I am rising on February 3 to honor and protect restaurant workers, to demand that they receive one fair wage which they so richly deserve and which will help protect them from sexual abuse on the job. This Women Workers Rising action joins the thousands of One Billion Rising creative resistance actions taking place throughout the US and the world, where women are rising up on the stage, in the streets, and in front of government offices, to demand changes in the policies and culture that sustain violence and inequality. We will rise until the violence stops.”
