On APRIL 3 -
STOP Business As Usual
Tell the Wall Street Bankers:
We are sick and tired of trillions for the banks
and
pennies for the people —
WE DEMAND:
Employee Free Choice Act Now!
To Our Sister and Brother Trade Unionists:
We call on you to join the April 3-4 MARCH ON WALL STREET on the anniversary of the day Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his life fighting for social and economic justice.
Let us remind the world that part of Dr. King's dream was that everyone should have the right to a job or an income. Rekindling that dream could not be more crucial today when the worse economic crisis since the 1930s is throwing 20,000 workers out of a job each day.
Why Wall Street?
Because we must demand that the needs of the people come before the greed of the bankers, CEOs and billionaires!
The voice of union members and their representatives must be heard on April 3 when Wall Street is open for business and continue to Saturday, April 4. Come out and march as a contingent under your union banner for the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA). March to stop budget cuts and layoffs. March for jobs. March for union rights!
Join community activists who want to stop foreclosures and evictions, students and youth who want an end to endless war and who are fighting to stop tuition hikes and student debt, immigrant families standing up for their rights, and seniors who need their pensions and health care protected.
The people made history when they elected President Barack Obama under the banner of “change.” But no individual no matter how honest or sincere can do it alone.
We must rise to the occasion and do our part in making sure that the voices of the corporate elite do not drown out and destroy the voices of everyday people.We can do it! Si se puede!
MARCH ON WALL STREET!
In solidarity,
The following trade unionists have added their names in support of the Bail out the People call for a National March on Wall Street on Friday, April 3 – when Wall Street is open for business and continuing to Saturday, April 4.
