CO-SPONSORS

• RANDI WEINGARTEN, President of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT)
• LEE SAUNDERS, Secretary Treasurer of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME)

National Action Network’s October 15 rally and march will call attention to key issues that have not been remedied in this country. As working Americans struggle to gain employment and livable wages, we continue to watch rampant foreclosures and fluctuating markets most heavily impacting those that are already suffering under tumultuous financial times.  NAN, and its partners in labor, education, civil rights and the church, call on every man, woman and child who understands the urgency of social justice on all levels to join them in Washington, D.C. October 15.
