This video from UFCW brings us some of the indelible images of the past month's inspiring uprising against Republican governors and legislatures trying to break unions and drive down working conditions for all of us.
But it isn't a coda. It's an invitation to a continuing fight. It ends:
Brought to you by America's working men and women
fighting to keep the dream alive
Join us April 4
On April 4, the anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination while he was in Memphis supporting AFSCME sanitation workers, the UFCW, along with the AFL-CIO, SEIU, the NEA, and other groups, is sponsoring a day of action. There will be rallies in many locations, but it's not just about rallies. Ideas for action include worksite leafleting or other actions, wearing solidarity gear like union t-shirts or Badger red armbands, holding house parties or discussions, reading from Dr. King's "I've been to the mountaintop" speech, delivered the night before he was killed.
It's about finding a way to take action into your daily life, to know that as powerful as mass rallies are, they're not the only way to show and to build worker strength. Look for an event or plan your own.
