April 3 & 4: Nat'l March on Wall Street - Bail Out the People Not the Banks: More than 50 Organizing Centers
April 3 & 4:
National March on Wall Street
On the Anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s Martyrdom
Let us Unite and Remind the world of the 2 powerful
messages of his final year:
- Rise up against wars of colonial
conquest
- Fight for the right of all to a job or
an income
More than 50 Organizing
Centers!
Momentum is growing for the April 3 & 4
National March on Wall
Street. There are now more than 50 organizing centers nationally,
including Charlotte, North Carolina; Detroit, Michigan; Celevelend,
Ohio; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Boston, Massachusetts; Baltimore,
Maryland; and dozens more, including 25 organizing centers in the
New York/New Jersey region. (for an updated list of organizing
centers, see http://www.bailoutpeople.org/apr32009orgcents.shtml).
It is becoming clear that the stimulus packages and bail out proposals
coming from Wall Street and Washington won't even make a dent in the
growing number of layoffs and foreclosures. Working people must
organize independently to demand a bail out for the people, not the
banks. It's time to march on Wall Street!
The stock markets are crashing, the world economy is headed into a
depression, and the U.S. government and its top bankers are giving
trillions of dollars to bailout the richest 1 percent of the people
while doing nothing to rescue ordinary working and poor people.
Bail Out People Not Banks; End war and Occupation from Afghanistan
to Iraq and Palestine!
We must stand up and say no to this injustice! Now is the time to
act.
Organizers across the country have endorsed the call and are mobilizing
in their communities to build the March on Wall Street, distributing
leaflets and posters, having local organizing meetings, and planning
transportation to New York for April 3 & 4. If you haven't yet
gotten involved with building this important event, here's how you can
