"We Are One"

Today, April 4, 2011 marks the anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. This year a "We Are One" campaign is taking place in honor of MLK's dream of collective bargaining and equal rights. The event is occurring across the country where union members and their supporters are coming together to show their support for unions, the middle class, and workers rights. The decline of unions is curious, and especially prevalent today due to the events that have taken place in Wisconsin. More information about "We Are One" is available here: http://www.aflcio.org/splash_april4_live.cfm?continue=/commonspot/sync/packethandlers/do-packet-steps.cfm

Events, rallies, vigils, speeches and community meeting are taking place in every state. There is so much you can do to show your support for unions, and events are even happening in the New Trier Township. Tonight (April 4th) at 8:00PM in Wilmette at 1324 Gregory Avenue, "Teachers that believe in reducing the structural system/control of tenure (while upholding Union Rights)" are meeting for the  "Teachers of the Burbs" event as part of "We Are One."

Show your support for America's labor movement by signing the pledge to make a difference! Thanks!
