March on Wall Street April 29
http://act.aflcio.org/o/4001/p/salsa/event/common/public/?event_KEY=285


"Wall Street tanked America’s economy, killed jobs, took $700 billion in taxpayer bailouts—then went right back to business as usual, choking off credit, handing out $145 billion in 2009 executive pay and bonuses and fighting meaningful financial reform.

We’re 11 million jobs in the hole and it’s time for the financial industry to pay up to create them.

Join AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka and thousands of union and community activists from across the country marching down Broadway in the heart of the financial district on April 29 to MAKE WALL STREET PAY.

See you there. For information contact the New York City Central Labor Council at 212-604-9552 or www.nycclc.org."



This has new meaning after the events of the last few days:

5. i hope it's successful.
concentrate on the financial mess (and not other issues which sometimes find their way into demonstartions. don't make it about the wars, or abortion rights, or the second amendment, or the environment. stick to shining a light on the roaches of wall street.
