You Are Cordially Invited to Join Us

We have a chance to participate in one of the most important events of the last twenty years. This is the first time, that we have had the opportunity come together as a broad spectrum of people to express our anxiety about the escalating decline of economic security in our daily lives and the future economic security that we thought we had earned for ourselves and our children.

The Worker's Rally is on the Capitol Lawn in Lansing on April 29 at 2 PM and is being organized by the UAW.

The featured speakers, Governor Jennifer Granholm and U. S. Senator Debbie Stabenow need to see us enmass so that when they are fighting to protect our jobs, our healthcare and our pensions, they will be assured that we will be with them in the fight.

Our participation in this Rally may be remembered in history as the day when Genesee County people united with others across the nation to demand economic and social justice and regained the dream that our forebearers passed to us. If the rally in Lansing is strong in participation, we will go forward with a march on Washington.

If the basic elements, identity of interest, clarity of vision, honesty of intent, and oneness of purpose, or any of these is lacking, all sentimental pleas for solidarity, and all other efforts to achieve it will be barren of results.

Eugene V. Debs:
Ten thousand times has the labor movement stumbled and bruised itself. We have been enjoined by the courts, assaulted by thugs, charged by the militia, traduced by the press, frowned upon in public opinion, and deceived by politicians. 'But notwithstanding all this and all these, labor is today the most vital and potential power this planet has ever known, and its historic mission is as certain of ultimate realization as is the setting of the sun.
