Syracuse Solidarity with Wisconsin Workers!

Thursday, March 3, 5-6pm Syracuse China, 2801 Court Street Syracuse, NY

From Wisconsin to New York, it's open season on working and poor people. Collective bargaining rights, pensions, education, health care and basic social services are being attacked by the right. What is happening in Madison right now is a battleground for what is proving to be a nationwide trend. Big business and the media are trying to blame union workers for this economic crisis, in an effort to pit public workers against private workers, and students and parents against teachers. Join us in Syracuse as we stand in unity with all working and poor people and follow the lead of the workers in Wisconsin. The Peace Council is just one of the many local organizations whose members are organizing this rally.



Come help make signs Wednesday night, March 2nd at the Center for Peace and Social Justice, 2013 E. Genesee St. @ 8pm.

There will be a follow-up organizing meeting on Saturday, March 5, 3pm at Plymouth Church. Contact [e-mail] for more information.

(Although I have to admit I had a momentary conflict on whether to show support at the Rally at Syracuse China or go across town and protest Michelle Malkin the RW Troll who is speaking at the Maxwell school.-- fighting for people won out, Karma will get Malkin)
