CALL FOR MAY DAY 2010 UNITY COALITION

May Day 2010 is rapidly approaching.

This year’s May Day is more important than ever as the economic and financial crisis continues to strike a heavy blow on workers from the U.S. and around the world. A recovery with no jobs is a recovery solely for the multinational corporations, who are raking in record profits as the people face increasing poverty, joblessness, homelessness, disease and death.

The escalation of war abroad in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and the racist, ruthless military occupation of Haiti demand our response.

A powerful and massive united fight-back against this onslaught is urgently needed.

May Day 2010 provides us with that opportunity.

The following signers invite everyone from the labor, immigrant, anti-war, student, youth, community & progressive movements, to claim your day and join us at a May Day 2010.

HANDS OFF STUDENT MTA PASSES IN NYC!

On 12/16/09, a proposal was passed by New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Board 12-0 in favor of serious budget cuts to take place next year, including the discontinuation of a program which provides free MetroCards for more than 500,000 city students, service cuts to Access-a-Ride users, layoffs, and service cutbacks. In this time of economic crisis, forcing students to pay $5 a day, or more than $1000 per year, just to get to school is an unacceptable wholesale attack on free public education.
LET THE NY MTA BOARD, NYC MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL, THE GOVERNOR AND THE LEGISLATURE KNOW YOU SAY NO!

SAY YES TO A REAL JOBS PROGRAM – AND NO TO MORE TROOPS TO AFGHANISTAN!

A White House Summit on Jobs is scheduled for Dec. 3. But instead of a jobs program, the president is sending tens of thousands of troops to war in Afghanistan at a cost of 50 billion more dollars on top of the fortune already wasted on war. Join us on Dec. 3 in a protest in front of the White House during the Jobs Summit to demand a real jobs program that can put the 30 million workers who are either unemployed or underemployed to work at jobs that pay a living wa
