​​LIVE: Workers and allies are rallying in Canton, MS with Bernie Sanders and Danny Glover. Nissan and their temp agency have received over $3 BILLION of taxpayer money, but they're still paying poverty wages to their workers and fighting to stop them from organizing a union.
Watch the rally, then add your name: no taxpayer dollars for poverty-payers like Nissan --> https://actionsprout.io/40632A

Excerpt:

In what's expected to be the largest protest in Mississippi in years, hundreds of workers, civil rights leaders, and social justice advocates plan to march to the Nissan factory in Canton this Saturday and call on the automaker to respect employees' right to a union election free from fear and intimidation.

The March on Mississippi is being organized by the Mississippi Alliance for Fairness at Nissan, a coalition of civil rights leaders, ministers and worker advocates. It will be led by U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and actor Danny Glover, a longtime advocate for the Nissan workers, and will be joined by NAACP President Cornell William Brooks, Sierra Club President Aaron Mair and U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Mississippi). The march will also be streamed live on the Good Jobs Nation Facebook page.
