Chicago Jobs with Justice

http://cohort11.americanobserver.net/latoyaegwuekwe/multimediafinal.html

It's shocking! That's why we are organizing the Emergency Campaign for Jobs!

500 people turned out on November 17th to challenge the insurance industry to get out of the way of health care reform. Lead by William McNary and Lynda DeLaforgue from Citizen Action/Illinois, Roberta Lynch (AFSCME31), Tom Balanoff (SEIU1), Henry Tamarin (UNITE HERE) and Ron Honse (CWA), 400 people marched, including a busload from Wisconsin, from the Blue Cross HQ to the Renaissance Hotel, where AHIP (the insurance lobbyists) was holding their National Convention.

Marchers joined up with folks already picketing outside the hotel, the small business folks inside the AHIP, and the media. Finally, William McNary held a rally to make sure the insurance companies heard us loud and clear.

Greetings Brothers and Sisters-

Thanks to all of you who were able to join us yesterday, Tuesday October 27th for a landmark mobilization for a protest of the greedy big banks, bailed-out with trillions of our tax dollars, who were hosting their annual convention at the Sheraton Hotel right here in Chicago!
