Never before has there been such an orchestrated effort to diminish the voice of the middle class in our country, which is why your participation at this rally is crucial. Policies are driven more than ever before by Big Business and the ultra wealthy. They have rigged our nation’s tax policies and economy to benefit their interests. They are systematically attempting to eradicate the right to collectively bargain in our country. It is urgent that we act in unison to restore balance to our economy and the right to bargain for a middle class life.
