Join Senator U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and broad array of labor, environmental, healthcare, consumer and other advocacy groups in Washington DC Thursday to promote a people’s agenda and a common commitment to stepping up grassroots mobilizations for economic and social justice and equality as the incoming Trump administration takes office.
What: Rally for social and economic justice and equality
Featured speaker – Sen. Bernie Sanders
When: Thursday, November 17, 1 p.m.
Where: Upper Senate Park, U.S. Capitol, Washington DC
We share support for an agenda that creates good paying, environmentally friendly jobs, rejecting the threat by House Speaker Paul Ryan to privatize Medicare, climate action, and an end to threats against people of color, women, and LGBT people that have escalated since the election.
We’ll also celebrate the apparent defeat of the fatally flawed Trans Pacific Partnership agreement, following months of protests by labor and progressive organizations that culminated in the opposition to the trade deal by all three leading Presidential candidates.
Groups include: National Nurses United, Our Revolution, AFL-CIO, Communications Workers of America, Demand Progress, The People For Bernie Sanders, Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU), Transport Workers Union - TWU, UNITE HERE!, Working Families Party, Democratic Socialists of America, Democracy Spring, APWU - The American Postal Workers Union, People's Action, Social Security Works, Progressive Democrats of America, Public Citizen, Health GAP
