When Maddy explained that we have a letter for D. Ronald Daniel, who is on
their board of directors, they still would not open the door. So Maddy
had to slide our letter through the space between the doors. [Matt's
observation: at least, unlike the corporation, the door was
transparent].
We picketed outside to let people know that a man who works in the
building is keeping over 1000 workers in poverty.
We ended the day with a visit to the office of Corning, James Houghton's
family business, located in the Trump tower.
The next day we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, of which James
Houghton is the chairman. We left a letter for him at the information
desk.
And we picketed, sang, and leafletted outside to let patrons know
that being a cultural philanthropist does not excuse denying a decent wage
to the people who keep Harvard running.

We strung up 1,000 paper dolls in Tercententary Theatre to symbolize the 1,000+ workers at Harvard who
don't earn a living wage and have no voice in the university.
