PROTEST FOR A JOBS PROGRAM
Sat. May 8th 12 Noon
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Rally at the Dept of Labor
200 Constitution Ave. NW
(between 2nd and 3rd Sts.)
Seventy-five years ago, Pres. Roosevelt signed the executive order
establishing the Works Projects Administration, the biggest public jobs program
in U.S. history. Join unemployed people, trade unionists, community and youth
activists and organizations from all over the country on Saturday, May 8 in
Washington, D.C. to call for a real jobs program for the 30 million unemployed
and underemployed people in the U.S. today.
We will protest at the Labor Dept. and then meet to plan our next steps.
Joblessness is the number one crisis today. Yet, from Wall St. to Washington,
bankers and politicians are determined to ignore this reality. After wasting
trillions on bailing out bankers and waging wars, the only thing they want to
talk about is cutting social programs, laying off more workers, busting unions
and causing more misery and suffering. If we don't unite, and raise hell,
hell on earth is what we'll have. In 1935, it took a mass struggle to win a
jobs
program.
Join us on May 8 to start a fight for a jobs program right
now.
This event was initiated by the Bail Out the People Movement. Among
the many organizations participating in May 8 are: white Workers for Justice;
UE 150, NC; San Francisco Central Labor Council; Moratorium Now! Coal.; Picture
the Homeless; Pastors For Peace; Boston School Bus Drivers USW Local
8751; Workers Emergency Recovery Campaign; Campaign to Abolish
Poverty/Coalition for Economic & Social Justice; Casa Freehold Day Laborers
Org., NJ; Code Pink & Global Exchange; Rhode Island Unemployed Council;
Peoples Organization for Progress; May 1st Coalition for Worker & Immigrant
Rights; Million Worker March Movement; Labor/Community Coalition, LA; Job Is A
