Celebrate With AMOS, Unions

This isn't much notice, but if you want to celebrate "some of the most significant social justice victories in Cincinnati's recent history," go to the Church of Our Saviour in Mt. Auburn tonight at 6 p.m.

The event's organizers: The AMOS Project, an alliance of 40 congregations and community groups working to address social justice issues in greater Cincinnati; United Food & Commercial Workers Local 1099, representing over 10,000 Kroger workers in Greater Cincinnati; Service Employees International Union Local 3, representing Cincinnati’s janitors; Cincinnati Interfaith Workers Center, and other grassroots allies.

The victories they want to highlight: The Banks project’s workforce development provisions; the first-ever union contract for Cincinnati janitors; a contract for Kroger workers; elimination of WLW 700’s racist billboards; and successful initiation of AMOS’ grassroots “Get Out The Vote” drive which mobilized almost 3,000 new voters in the City Council elections.
