Declaration of Economic Emergency for the 99%

November 17: National Day of Action

Over 25 million Americans need work but Congress can’t pass a jobs bill.

As joblessness pushes more people into safety-net programs every day, Congress cuts funding.

Three years after big banks and Wall Street ruined our economy, the gap between the richest 1% and the rest of us grows daily.

Despite his campaign promise of 250,000 new jobs, over 45,000+ Wisconsinites are out of work less than a year after Gov. Walker took office.

Defying relentless calls for change from millions of people, Congress, Wall Street, and our governor continue business as usual, enriching themselves at the expense of the rest of us. They’re not just ignoring the 99%. They’re making life much worse.

Enough is enough. Join in a national day of action to declare an economic emergency for the 99%. Across the country, thousands of people will rally on decaying bridges, the symbols of neglected opportunities to put people work immediately. Join in the demand for a country that works for all of us, not just the 1%.
