Saturday February 26, 11 am - 12:30 pm
Rally to Save the American Dream
Last Friday, 100 of us rallied in front of CNN/NBC/FOX, and on Tuesday more than 500 of us rallied at FOX.
Ed Schultz came down to interview us for his show, and Glenn Beck saw us from his chalkboard and got even crazier.
This Saturday, we're joining with Moveon to fill City Hall Park as part of their Rally to Save the American Dream, which will feature rallies in all 50 state capitals and many large cities - including New York City!
We'll have a stage, professional sound, and more great speakers. We'll go from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., then march together to the 1 p.m. Planned Parenthood rally at Foley Square.
Make your own signs. Wear Packers gear (or just green/yellow) and cheesehead hats (we'll bring a few to share). Bring your smartphones and cameras to tell the world!
Co-Sponsors (in formation):
MoveOn, Van Jones/ Rebuild the Dream, SEIU, USAction/ TrueMajority, Democracy for America, Jobs with Justice, National People's Action, 1Sky, 350.org, Center for Community Change, ColorOfChange.org, Courage Campaign, CREDO, Common Cause, Keystone Progress, Progressive Change Campaign Committee, People for the American Way, Progressive Majority, Presente.org, United States Student Association, Green for All, American Rights at Work, Apollo Alliance, Working Families Party, Democrats.com, Energy Action Coalition, Media Matters Action Network, Partnership for Working Families, Sierra Club, Campaign for America's Future, Campus Progress, AFSCME, BlueGreen Alliance!
