Harassment on the job? Rally at City Hall – Thurs., Oct 11, 12noon
NOW-NYC Rally Against Culture of Sexual Harassment in Albany
Thursday, October 11th 12:00pm – 1:00pm
Steps of City Hall ***
A poll conducted by ABC News and The Washington Post late last year found that one in four women have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace.

Join with NOW-NYC, women, equal rights advocates, unions, and good government groups to put our leaders in Albany on notice: Assemblyman Vito Lopez’s actions and the cover-up of sexual harassment at the top levels of government are unacceptable.
Bring signs with your demands: End Sexual Harassment; Albany: Stop the Cover-Up; Give Vito Lopez the Boot; JCOPE Do Justice
Directions to City Hall: 2,3 trains to Park Place; N, R trains to City Hall; 4,5,6 trains to Brooklyn Bridge/City Hall.
