DESCRIPTION:What if you refused to go to work tomorrow -- and thousands other people 
 did, too?\n\nWhat would it look like if people danced in the streets 
 downtown instead of sat inside office buildings?\n\nThe last time this 
 happened in the US was in Oakland in 1946, when more than 100,000 citizens 
 shut down the bustling post-war city for days. Beginning on a normal 
 weekday morning downtown in early December, the Work Holiday of 1946, as it 
 was called at the time, was a public show of solidarity with striking 
 department-store workers that rapidly evolved into a remarkable experience 
 of community activism. Throughout Oakland, residents talked and marched 
 with neighbors and strangers, enjoyed free food, danced to jukebox tunes in 
 the streets, and came together as working people to demand respect during a 
 crucial moment in U.S. history.\n\nExperience this momentous part of local 
 history firsthand on Friday, December 5th (8pm) and Sunday, December 7th 
 (2pm) at Latham Square in downtown Oakland. Oakland 1946! will stage a 
 site-specific street theater performance that engages the audience and 
 connects with current local workers’ struggles.\n\nJoin us for a wild and 
 fun-filled afternoon of performance, education, action, and dancing in the 
 streets!\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/11/24/18552718.php
