Lots of Action Underway
If you ever planned to get active in the movement for change, now is the time. Here are the things I know about that are already scheduled or being planned:
- Nov 3: 4-6 PM cell phone party at UFCW540. (11041 Garland Rd in Dallas). We're
calling people in Rep. Hensarling district, CD5.
- Nov 4, 7:30 AM: New unemployment figures are released by Bureau of Labor Statistics
- Nov 5, (national day of action everywhere) 1 PM: MoveOn protest at Bank of America
downtown Dallas. (Main & Lamar)
- Nov 5, 10 AM: Tarrant County MoveOn rally at Wells Fargo Bank, 6100 Camp Bowie Blvd
- Nov 7: Postal workers will rally two different locations informing the public. Oppose the plan to close the main post office and several stations throughout Dallas, which will affect the community, businesses and over 1300 workers. Seven AM in front of main post office located at I-30 and Sylvan ave. Twelve PM (noon?) at 7800 N. Stemmons Freeway, which is the US Postal service Vice President for southwest office Contact APWU Local 732 President Yared Wonde.
- Nov 9, 7 PM: Jobs with Justice planning meeting at 2218 E Main in Grand Prairie. Everyone invited.
- Nov 12 6 PM: I speak at "College of Complexes" also in CD5, at Barbec‘s Restaurant,
8949 Garland Road
- Nov 17, (national day of action everywhere) 4-6 PM: Rally at Doctor's Hospital Buckner & Garland Rd to oppose cuts from the "Super Congress."
- Nov 19, 1 PM: Meet at Dallas City Hall, 1500 Young at Ervay, for a General March in Support of the Working Classes in the United States and Internationally. Called by the General Assembly of Occupy Dallas.
- Nov 23: Expect a press conference as the "Super Congress" makes its proposals to cut over $1.5 TRILLION from the federal budget, with all the pain and layoffs attendant.
Expect to fight Congressional "fast track" approval until their Dec 23 deadline. We
cannot allow the American austerity program to keep doing what it's doing to the rest of
the world!
National Jobs with Justice continues to urge everyone to get behind the worldwide protest known generally as "Occupy Wall Street." I recommend that groups form their own contingents in these marches and rallies, then work like heck to get members to attend. If we haven't found a way, yet, to bring everybody together, we must continue trying. It's the only solution!
