UWA Lauches Summer of Justice Campaign at Camden Yards. Spread the word. Forward this article to others interested in economic justice.

The UWA launched its Summer of Justice Campaign today at the April Fool's Day game between the Washington Nationals and the Baltimore Orioles. While this game was preseason, we choose to start our campaign today that Peter Angelos, owner of the Orioles, treats Nationals fans about as well as he treats the cleaners at Camden Yards.

To our surprise, Angelos and the Orioles announced a couple of weeks before our long scheduled protest that he'd give away 100% of the day's ticket sales to five Baltimore soup kitchens. While we have nothing against billionaires giving money to charities, we do have a problem with the timing. It seemed as if Angelos wanted to deflect any bad publicity for paying cleaners poverty wages (and for breaking his 2004 promise to start paying a living wage) by giving up to $250,000 to soup kitchens.
