Jobs with Justice March 2nd Day of Action http://tiny.cc/wgqom For the past weeks we have seen students, workers, faith and community 

come together and prevent attacks to the public sector across the country. 

These attacks are threatening the basic structures of our society, 

including the right to an education and the right to full and fair employment.

your name to the petition: "I stand with working families. We deserve the right to form unions 

as we see fit to protect our jobs and our communities."
