Waitresses To March for Living Wage, NYC, May 17

waitresses.jpg Join the All City Waitress Marching Band in a Protest March for a Living Wage up the Grand Concourse to the Bronx Museum, Saturday, May 17, 2008. "When The Waitresses first marched in the 1979 Pasadena DooDah Parade, women made 43 cents to every dollar a man made. Now, women now make 77 cents, and people of color make 71 cents for every dollar a man makes - for the same job," says original Waitress, artist Jerri Allyn. Join Allyn and bandleader Chutney Berry, decked out in white uniforms, accented by red polka dot aprons and bowties. Rehearsal is 10:30 to 12, parade at noon, Unhappy Hour 5 p.m. The event is in conjunction with the exhibition, “Making it Together: Women’s Collaborative Art and Community" (March 2 - August 4), curated by Carey Lovelace.
