Forty-three years ago, in Memphis, a long struggle for human rights and human dignity ended in the tragic death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,but it brought economic justice and the respect that all people deserve to 1,300 city sanitation workers, on strike to win recognition of their union.

On April 4 this year,the anniversary of Dr. King’s death, we will remind our elected officials that workers’ rights are human rights, and that those rights will not be destroyed.

In every state, in every community, the fight for workers’ rights and dignity goes forward.

And we’re not alone. Civil and human rights activists; union members and supporters; Latinos, Asians and immigrants; religious supporters; environmental, student and women’s groups; and many others: all of us will stand together for workers’ rights.

Some politicians want to silence millions of working and middle class families.

On April 4th at City Hall Park it’s time for Middle Class Families to make their voices heard. We will stand together. We won’t be silenced.
