Sign - Labor Support for April 3 - STOP Business As Usual on Wall Street
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.
