April 4 - We Are One - Find Events Near You!

[Dulcinea]

Working people in America are under an unprecedented wave of attacks. Despite high unemployment and insufficient new jobs, unemployment insurance in some states is being cut and undermined. Extreme budget cuts threaten the services and livelihoods of everyone from the very poorest to the struggling middle-class. And workers' rights and economic freedoms are being targeted across the country. On April 4, millions of us will join together and say 'We Are One'.

On April 4, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, where he had gone to stand with sanitation workers demanding their dream: the right to bargain collectively for a voice at work and a better life. Today, those and other rights are still under attack and being denied to many. But the cause of workers rights is uniting people across America. It’s the demand of all people -- employed and unemployed; black, white, Latino and Asian American: The right to join together for our common dreams.
