Los Angeles: Support Amazon Workers’ Union Drive
Friday, February 19 - 3:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. PST
300 S Grand Ave, Los Angeles
Hosted by Los Angeles Workers Assembly
Union activists and community groups are holding a rally in front of the office of Morgan, Lewis and Bockius. This giant union-busting law firm was hired by Amazon to defy fair labor practices and intimidate and lie to 5,800 Amazon workers during their historic drive for a union in Bessemer, Ala. This workforce is 85% African American in a “right to work” state fighting against one of the richest corporations in the world.
Please join us at this socially distanced, mask wearing rally! For more information call 323-306-6240.

“Ginger” - A Predynastic Egyptian
The naturally preserved body of an adult man was found in a cemetery at Gebelein, Egypt, and dated to the Late Predynastic period, around 3400 BC, or earlier.
Ginger died more than five thousand years ago, yet his golden hair, which gave him his nick-name, and even his toe- and finger-nails were perfectly preserved. Before mummification was developed to preserve human remains bodies were placed in shallow graves, in direct contact with the sand. The bodies from these early burials frequently did not decay, because the hot dry sand absorbed the water that constitutes 75% of the human weight. Without moisture bacteria cannot breed and cause decay, and the body is preserved. There are many of these burials from the early Egyptian periods where the body is still in excellent condition.
