THE G-20 COUNTRIES MEET IN PITTSBURGH on Sept. 24 & 25 to discuss
the world economic crisis, the Bail Out the People Movement, a
coalition of labor, community, religious and student activists from
across the country, will organize a National March for Jobs in
Pittsburgh on Sunday, September 20</span></font></b><font face="Arial"
size="2"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">. It’s
time to revive Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.s dream of a movement for jobs
for all.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Among the thousands that
will be marching for jobs in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Pittsburgh</st1:City></st1:place>
on September 20 will be unemployed auto workers who have lost their
jobs, young people who face a jobless future, and veterans who have
returned home only to find themselves jobless and homeless. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">The September 20 march
before the G-20 Summit will be a dramatic way to make sure that the
widespread suffering caused by the worst economic crisis since the
Great Depression will no longer be invisible or silent. The jobs march
will help remind all governments, especially the United States
Government, that their first priority must be creating a real jobs
program of permanent, full-time living wage jobs.<o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>

on Sunday September 20 to participate in the march and tent city.
Along with the march and tent city, people every where are encouraged

of Solidarity with the Unemployed.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b><font
face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Depression-level
unemployment must be recognized as the greatest crisis we face. It is
simply unacceptable to do nothing about this crisis or to maintain that
there are no resources to bail out the unemployed when trillions are
made available to bail out greedy, reckless bankers.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">The real jobless rate is
20% and higher in much of the country when the unemployed and
underemployed people, who are not included in official statistics, are
accounted for. Young African Americans have a better chance of being
incarcerated than they have of finding a job. The stimulus bill passed
last winter was not enough to make a dent in the rising job loss. No
matter what happens in the broader economy many jobs are not coming
back and widespread layoffs are going to continue.<o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Yet, the government is
under constant pressure from Wall Street to ignore the needs of the
jobless. That pressure must no longer be one-sided. Martin Luther King
Jr. once called the fight for the right to a job or a guaranteed income
“the second civil rights movement." King dedicated the last year of
his life to planning a mass movement for jobs.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">King’s dream for a jobs
movement has to be revived. No doubt, King would have known that even a
remarkable and historic President like Barack Obama cannot do alone
what it going to take a movement to do. Delaying a movement for jobs
will only mean more desperation, coupled with a sense of hopelessness.
When people in crisis are not fighting for their rights, they are more
susceptible to blaming themselves or blaming others like immigrant
workers instead of making demands on the powers that be. <o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">When people stand up for
themselves, hopelessness is replaced by empowerment, solidarity and
dignity. During the depression of the 1930s, President Roosevelt once
told a labor leader who was asking him to do more for working
people--“I agree with you, now make me do it.” That was good advice 75
years ago; we should heed it today. Marching in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Pittsburgh</st1:City></st1:place> before the G-20 is a
beginning. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
