RIDE THE PACEM IN TERRIS BUS – SEE INFO AT END
The human costs of the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan mount every day, and each month upwards of $12 billion are drained from our national treasury. WE NEED THOSE BILLIONS AT HOME!!!
By bringing people into the streets of the financial center. we will send a strong, clear message: The long term solution to our nation’s economic crisis must include major cuts in military spending and putting our money to work in the rebuilding of our communities. Instead of pouring our money into bailing out wealthy bankers, we need government investments in spending that creates new jobs, provides health care and quality education for all, ends the foreclosure epidemic, and supports sustainable, clean energy.
On April 4, 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke out against war at his historic ‘Beyond Vietnam’ speech at Riverside Church in NYC. A year later to the date, April 4, 1968, Dr. King was assassinated in Memphis where he had traveled to lend support to the struggle of striking sanitation workers.
This year, on April 4, we honor the legacy of Dr. King with our urgent call for a new direction by marching on the financial capital of the country: Wall Street.
