The Rothko Chapel event, The Struggle for Worker Rights in Houston planned for this evening (Sept 7 at 7pm) is being rescheduled. Weather conditions, including heavy rains, flood and tornado warnings are such that it is not safe to hold the event this evening.
The event is rescheduled for Wednesday, Sept 29 at 7pm. Please mark your calendars and plan to join the Rothoko Chapel and Houston Interfaith Worker Justice Center for a fascinating exploration of worker rights in Houston.

Wishing you safe journeys today!

On the day following Labor Day please join us for a discussion of the current state of worker rights here in the Houston area. Organized in conjunction with the national Interfaith Worker Justice Committee campaign titled Labor in the Pulpits, on the Bimah in the Minbar, our program will explore the links between faith, labor and justice through conversations with four local workers involved in organizing efforts. Workers will present personal reflections on unionization, health and safety issues, wage theft, and the importance of organizing for worker justice and respect for labor laws.

Christine Diaz with the KPFT radio program Voices at Work will moderate the conversation. This program is co-sponsored with the Houston Interfaith Workers Justice Center.

The Rothko Chapel is funded in party by a grant from the City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance.
