Under the ringing slogan, “One Nation, Marching Toward Our Dream,” the more than 150 sponsoring organizations declare that “we can put Americans back to work…restore our middle class…(and) rebuild the country we love.”

Sponsors include the AFL-CIO and many of its affiliated unions, the NAACP, La Raza, the Leadership Council on Civil and Human Rights, and the Center for Community Change.

“Today we are a nation in crisis,” the sponsors declare. “In the last ten years, we have lost eight million jobs. At least 1.2 million families have lost or are losing their homes. Schools are closing and remaining classrooms are bursting at the seams. Employers have trampled the rights of workers to bargain for fair wages and benefits.

“We can make things right again. As we organize and energize and mobilize, we will show fellow Americans that together we can truly change our country. We are joining together, members of…more than 150 groups in all, to make a difference.”
