THURSDAY MARCH 24th On Thursday, March 24 there will be a national day of action while members of both the House of Representatives and Senate are scheduled to be home for a District Work Period. Funding for essential programs that provide job retraining and workforce education is at risk for being eliminated. Nearly 14 million Americans remain unemployed, with over 40% unemployed for 6 months or longer. Many are unable to return to their prior jobs because they no longer exist. These workers require the services and assistance provided by the nation’s public workforce system in order to take advantage of emerging job opportunities and retraining. | ||

The Truth About Walmart Press Conference in Lakeview The residents in the Lakeview area overwhelming oppose the placement of a Walmart store in the neighborhood as it poses an existential threat to an otherwise vibrant and distinguished local business community. This press event is led by the Lakeview Chamber of Commerce and we will discuss the findings of Walmart's impact on jobs, small business and prices on markets into which they enter. (Hint: It's not good!) It's also a nationwide day of action as Walmart tries to implement its plans to penetrate urban markets whether they are welcome or not. --------------------------------------------------------------- For Immediate Release. April 20, 2011 What Walmart Doesn’t Want Chicagoans to Know Start: 3:30 pm
Action at University of Chicago Medical Center This event will be very powerful. It is led by two youth organizations, STOP and FLY, who are supporting the sister of the young man shot in the UCMC neighborhood and instead of being treated there, was shipped to Northwestern and he died on the way. The Chicago Sun-Times recently acknowledged that their CEO was killed at UCMC due to a medical error that likely resulted from improper staffing practices. This hospital is receiving millions in tax breaks as a non-profit and yet is shirking its duty to the community around it in favor of well-insured patients in need of cadillac procedures. The students are leading a press conference and "die in", and risking arrest, to demand a meeting with the CEO of UCMC to discuss bringing back the trauma center and holding the hospital accountable to the community. | ||
