Atlanta Jobs with Justice would like to thank the over
250 people who came out to the SPEAK OUT FOR JOBS NOW on Saturday, April 2.
Especially, thanks to the over 50 unemployed and
underemployed workers who gave their testimonies. And the 25 service providers
who provided free haircuts, legal services, massages, resume help, expungement
support and more.
Stay tuned a VIDEO is coming!
Check out the TV coverage on WSB Channel 2--http://www.wsbtv.com/news/27409815/detail.html.
Also, you can hear coverage on NPR today and in the Atlanta Voice this Friday.
This is a beginning. Workers put forward their
stories, exposed barriers and shared good ideas for solutions. It will
take us uniting together to bring about the change we need. Black,
Latino/a, and White were all present. We must keep building, challenging
racism and attacks on immigrants and fighting for the human right of everyone
to a FAIR JOB, one with a living wage, a union and benefits!
DON'T FORGET WE ARE MARCHING TODAY WITH WORKERS ACROSS
THE COUNTRY. Fighting to stop the attacks on workers and people of
color. And Fighting for FULL and FAIR EMPLOYMENT!
We Are One Rally/March for Workers' Rights
TODAY, April 4 • 5:30pm - 7:30pm
The King Center
449 Auburn Ave. NE Atlanta, GA
Look for the Jobs with Justice signs at the rally and
