I love the Tenement Museum because we can learn so much! It's applicable to today as well! 1. How to fit 17 people into a 1-bedroom tenement 2. Asbestos for Everyone! 3. Triangle Shirtwaist is a great place to work 4. No need for social programs, just start a mutual aid society

What's most significant about today's day of action is the sheer number of locations where protests took place -- more than 1000 towns and cities, all over the country. That's only happened one or two times before *in all of American history.*
