Leadership Needed in Planning!

The October 14 Jobs with Justice planning session finds North Texas workers at several crossroads, by the edge of a cliff, and between rocks and hard places.

Will we resolve our health care crisis favorably?
Will we win the right to organize?
Is it possible to build a large, viable progressive coalition for worker justice?
Can we successfully involve civil rights, community, and religious organizations?
How can we meet the economic crisis, especially unemployment?

For some months, we have been discussing economic fightback, building a coalition of construction workers, organizing immigrants, training organizers, and creating a Workers Center. We need to put our plans into a readable document that can be used in a serious drive for implementation! That's going to take the best efforts of a number of volunteers.

Please join us at the North Texas Jobs with Justice planning session, 7 PM, 2nd Wednesday, October 14, at UAW 848 union hall, 2218 E Main in Grand Prairie. Your input is vital!

We Have a New Weapon!

I've begun to bring video into our arsenal of information spreading. When Phyllis Guest joined me on the "Workers Beat" program on KNON, I made a tiny video and put it on YouTube. Check it out! We can do a lot of this type of thing. On Monday, Oct 19, Dr Joerg Rieger will join me to talk about his new book and the 'Faith and Reason' seminar that weekend.
