July 21, 2009, New York, NY: Mira Said of the Democracy and Workers’ Rights Center (DWRC) in Palestine visited New York this week to appear on a morning radio program and will give a talk on the Palestinian labor movement.

DWRC is a partner of The Advocacy Project (AP).

Ms Said was interviewed on WBAI’s “Wake Up Call” this morning, and is scheduled to speak at office of 1199SEIU, a health care workers’ labor union, later tonight. You can listen to a clip of the radio program here.

Ms Said’s visit was organized by Eliza Bates, who volunteered as a Peace Fellow with the DWRC in 2007. The visit produced great publicity for DWRC, which was largely unknown outside of Palestine.
