<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">Millions of people are unemployed across the country, but instead of working to create jobs and help working families, our politicians in Washington are trying to cut programs for our seniors and children to protect tax breaks for the ultra wealthy.</p>

<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;"><strong>Overview</strong><br>
November 17th is a national day of action for jobs and the middle class. In cities across the country the 99% will be on the march as community and labor allies come together to rally for jobs, not cuts. The marches will focus on structurally unsound bridges as symbols of our country’s crumbling infrastructure - and the jobs that would result if we fixed them. These bridges need work and so do we! <br><br>
In Boston, the march has been called by community and labor allies including Jobs with Justice, MassUniting, the Mass Building Trades and the AFL-CIO. We're marching to highlight the need for action on jobs and to stand in solidarity with the Occupy Movement.</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;"><strong>MESSAGE FOR NOV 17</strong></p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">· <strong>The 99% are in the midst of an economic disaster. </strong>It’s been three years since Wall Street wrecked our economy, yet 25 million people are still unable to find full-time work. The American Dream has been destroyed, and the egregious wealth gap between the 1% and the 99% continues to grow. What’s worse, many in Congress are doing everything they can to ensure it stays that way.</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">· <strong>The Charlestown Bridge needs work and so do we. </strong>We can create millions of jobs by repairing crumbling roads, tunnels and bridges like this one. But instead of putting America back to work to fix our crumbling infrastructure, Congress has refused to pass a single jobs bill. And now, the Super Committee is calling for more job-killing budget cuts and austerity policies.</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">· <strong>We need jobs, not cuts—and we need to make Wall Street pay.</strong> We are fed up with politicians who cater to the interests of big businesses and billionaires. We are angry that we’ve lost our jobs and our homes while the rich get more tax cuts and corporate profits soar. <strong>We are the 99%, and we demand an economy that works for everyone, not just the richest 1%.</strong></p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;"><strong>March Plan</strong><br>
Supporters will gather at Dewey Square at 4pm – including student marchers -- and marching at 4:30 up Atlantic Ave to the N. Washington Street bridge for a rally and action. The building trades members will meet us at the bridge, where a few speakers will address the crowd there (all speakers should be unemployed workers, we are looking to highlight the stories of both unemployed trades workers and other kinds of workers). <br><br>
Because the march will involve large numbers of union members, community partners and allies from immigration groups, we will have a strong marshaling presence. At the bridge we will have a candlelight vigil and banner drop. Since it will be dark at 5pm when we arrive at the bridge, we have the opportunity to think about creative uses of candles, light-up projectors, etc. A smaller contingent will be on the Charlestown side of the bridge and will march across the bridge to meet the larger body of the march, which will remain on the North End without going onto the bridge itself. <br><br>
From the bridge – we will march back to Dewey.</p>
