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.
*JOBS NOW!*
This event was initiated by the Bail Out the People Movement.
Among the many organizations participating in May 8 are: Black
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
