On April 4, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in Memphis where he had gone to stand with sanitation workers demanding their dream: the right to bargain collectively for a voice at work and a better life. This April 4th people across the country are coming together to say that they won't allow corporations and corporate-friendly administrators to put profits before the needs of people.
Please join the Living Wage Coalition and W&M's NAACP in one of the largest national walk-outs in history.
The National chapters of NAACP, Amnesty International, Young Democrats, VOX, and United States Against Sweatshops, as well as National Labor unionns like the AFL-CIO, are all uniting for affordable education, affordable heath care, workers' rights, and living wages! We are standing solidarity with people in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, and everywhere, to show that people should not have to decide between feeding their families, paying their rent, going to the doctor, and affording a college education.
