Solidarity Action Sheds Light on Poverty-Zone Development
What a week to kick-off the summer solidarity actions! Emanuel McCray, an ESPN Zone worker, spoke in front of the now closed ESPN Zone about the experience of learning through the news that he would be out of a job in less than a week as curious tourist and consumers walked passed. Allies came out to show their solidarity and reach out to consumers to educate them about the human rights abuses at the harbor and this most recent example of worker disregard. Many consumers were shocked to hear that Disney-owned ESPN Zone would treat their workers with such lack of respect. Connecting workers with consumers is critical to putting the pressure on Inner Harbor developers, GGP and Cordish, to ensure basic human rights standards for workers. This is just the beginning, so if you missed this action, be sure to sign-on to our e-alerts to learn about upcoming solidarity actions!
