Workers Emergency Recovery Campaign

National March on Washington for Jobs, Peace, Affordable Healthcare for All And For an End to Foreclosures and Evictions

PDF Version Here

Whereas, US involvement in wars and the US military aid to other countries are making the
people of the US and the world less safe; and

Whereas, these wars and military aid are bankrupting the people of the US, who are already
suffering from staggering job losses, foreclosures and a broken healthcare system; and

Whereas, despite the so-called economic recovery, the economic crisis for working people has
continued unabated with growing unemployment and continuing home foreclosures and
evictions; and

Whereas, this economic crisis has resulted in the underfunding and degrading of public education
and social services; and

Whereas, there is a growing opposition to the wars and occupations in Afghanistan and Iraq by a
majority of the people here in the United States, not to mention the great and ever-growing
opposition by the citizens in Afghanistan and Iraq; and

Whereas, these wars are costing billions of dollars each month;

Therefore Be It Resolved that the California Labor Federation calls on the AFL-CIO and
Change to Win to organize a Solidarity Day III march on Washington, DC, in the spring of 2010
to demand jobs, housing, healthcare, full funding for public education and social services and
peace;

Be it Finally Resolved that we send this resolution for action and concurrence to the AFL-CIO
and Change to Win.
