Join CWA, AFL-CIO, national Building and Construction Trades Department, all our union brothers and sisters, community partners and political allies on Saturday, August 11, 2012 in Philadelphia to fight for the survival of America’s middle class and an economy that works for the 99%.

Organized labor built the middle class in our country and is now leading the charge to preserve it. Thousands upon thousands of union members, students, social activists, and community partners from across the country will converge in Philadelphia to send a message that the middle class cannot survive in an economy that only benefits the 1%. We will send a message that America is not a plutocracy to be governed by the ultra wealthy, but a democracy which bestows power to its people and equal opportunity to all.

Reclaiming our democracy only works when we all participate. So mark your calendars for this rally and be there for yourselves, your family, and our country’s future.

Date:
Saturday, August 11th, 2012
Time:
11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Place:
Eakins Oval
(In front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art)

America is the greatest country in the world because we never stop improving ourselves. And on August 11th we are going to recognize the need for a Second Bill of Rights to ensure the American Dream is there for our children as it was there for us. Buses will be provided, 1101 members call the local at (212-633-2666) to reserve a seat. We look forward to seeing you there.

Why We Will Be In Philly Aug. 11

Taking a Stand for America

A disappearing middle class.

Jobs that pay less and less.

Working families and students drowning in debt.

Profits going straight to the 1 percent.

Is this the America we want?

Support America’s Second Bill of Rights

America needs a Second Bill of Rights, rights that build on the political freedoms of the original by promoting economic freedom and opportunity, as envisioned by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in his State of the Union address in January 1944. It’s time.

Read America’s Second Bill of Rights and add your name in support.
