Got this in a forward of a forward:

Hello once again my beautiful peoples,

So, I have been getting many phone calls and emails
asking me how, specifically, folx can help us with
this strike.

First, your attendance at today's [Dec. 19th - already over] rally is crucial.
Again, the rally logistics are: 34th & 3rd (entrance
area) Gonernor Pataki's office, 4p.m.

The second and more important thing is to help us in
communication with the community. We have hundreds of
thousands of leaflets and have chosen the following
initial locations to leaflet the public between 6:30 -
9a.m. Tuesday [Dec 20th] morning:

Brooklyn Bridge - Brooklyn side (1st priority in order
to screw up Bloomberg's media op)
Williamsburg Bridge - Manhattan side
Queensboro Bridge - Manhattan side
Manhattan Bridge - Manhattan side
George Washinton Bridge - Manhattan side
145th Street Bridge - Manhattan side

We will have small coffee trucks set-up at all of
these locations covered in TWU signs. we will be
offering coffee to the public and need community folx
out there with our members to leaflet them as well. I
can drop off leaflets to your home or organization or
you can get them on-site.

We will have placards ready for you and even if you
can only committ an hour, it will be totally worth it
for us. Call me and let me know if you'll be able to
participate. (646) 675 - 9979

Thank you all and keep your fingers crossed for
EVERYTHING!

All my love,
Rachél

I just went out with some comrades to the Manhattan side of the G. Washington bridge and couldn't find any strikers anywhere. We stood around for a good 40 minutes in the freezing cold and then decided to come back home.

If anyone in NY knows where any of the pickets are going down for real please PM me.
