Thursday, Nov. 17, Join us to Declare an Economic Emergeny for the 99%

Enough is enough—we can’t wait any longer. Three years after Wall Street wrecked our economy, 25 million people are still unable to find full-time work and the scandalous gap between the 1% and the 99% continues to grow. But instead of creating jobs, Congress continues to ignore the concerns of the 99% and instead focuses on job-killing budget cuts and tax giveaways for the rich.

Join us tomorrow to declare an Economic Emergency for the 99%.On Thursday, November 17, we will peacefully gather at bridges and other sites all across the country and demand an economy and a country that work for everyone, not just the 1%.

Join us in Richmond or Washington, D.C. (or click here for other Virginia events) to send a loud message to the powers-that-be:

We need jobs, not cuts. Put America back to work, protect our Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security – and make Wall Street pay for crashing our economy.
