Hale Nani Strike: Day 3

IMG_1687Hale Nani workers are stronger than ever! We had large numbers on the picket lines, dancing & chanting all day.

We went to Waikiki and visited our brothers & sisters who work at Local 5 hotels. They will be joining us at our finale rally today in Waikiki.

We continued to go around the neighborhood to talk to our neighbors about the strike. Our neighbors are behind us and our fight to stand up for our rights!

We held a service at the Community of Christ Church. Amy Perruso (Secretary-Treasurer, Hawaii State Teachers Association), Councilmember Ron Menor, and Pastor Aaron Mahi shared their words of support. We sang “We Shall Overcome” and “We Shall Not Be Moved”: two songs from the Civil Rights Movement.

Stronger together!
