Workers in seven San Francisco Marriott hotels, and the San Jose Marriott, went on strike on Thursday, October 4. Workers at the Oakland Marriott walked out the next day. These are the faces of the workers on the lines. If you're in the Bay Area, you'd be welcome to walk with them as they tell the hotels "One Job Should Be Enough!"

These photos capture faces of great beauty but also show dancing, singing and rage can all be fused together to create power. Thanks to David Bacon for going to these picket lines and taking these photos.
