Blessing of the Hands Ceremony

September 7, 2008, 4:00 pm – 5:15 pm, Join the POWR campaign at the bottom of the steps, in front the Philadelphia Museum of Art for the “Blessing of the Hands Ceremony.”

The ceremony will celebrate Philadelphia workers and honor the hard working security guards at the Philadelphia Museum of Art who are trying to win paid sick-leave. The ceremony will include singing, music, fun street theater and the power of prayer for workers who need your help.

We are encouraging participants to come early and bring their families. The Philadelphia Museum of Art opens its general collection free to the public on Sundays. Check out the collections and be sure to proudly wear a “I Support My Security Guard” sticker that you can get from a Jobs with Justice Activist outside of the museum starting at 11 am on September 7. Sign the petition saying that you don’t approve of your tax money being used to support the mistreatment of workers. Then, stick around for the ‘Blessing of the Hands Ceremony.”
