Never thought I'd see the day when the TWU, SEIU and CWA marched down the street with SWOP/SWANK, the sex worker's union (well, not really a union but close enough).

--------------
Union workers and community members impacted by the economic crisis have been demanding that Wall Street and the wealthiest New Yorker's pay their fair share of taxes.
Let's march down to Wall Street to welcome the protesters and show the faces of New Yorkers hardest hit by corporate greed.
We'll be meeting up and assembling at 4:30 at Foley Square, march past City Hall, and meet up with our brothers and sisters at Zuccotti Park and unite in solidarity. #occupywallstreet organizers, labor leaders, and members of community organizations will speak to the assembly about Why We Stand United!
