Jobs Not Cuts March and Rally

The “Jobs Not Cuts” march and rally promises to confront the U.S. economic crisis, head-on. It has drawn a growing list of major supporters, including numerous Bay Area labor unions and anti-war, progressive and community groups in partnership with MoveOn.org and Rebuild the Dream.

Jobs are disappearing, foreclosures are increasing, cities are falling apart, young people have few prospects for a good future. Additionally, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are on the chopping block and the so-called “war on terror” continues on. The stalled economy and massive budget cuts demand a massive popular movement not seen since the great depression.

We will assemble at Laney College on Saturday, Oct. 15, at 1:00 pm and march to Frank Ogawa Plaza for a rally at 3:30. On the way, we will pass the Federal Building, where participants will symbolically nail a list of progressive economic demands to the door of government, including Jobs, Not Cuts; Work, Not War; Clean Energy, Not Climate Change; Investment in Education and Infrastructure and Medicare-for-All.

March with us on Oct. 15th to send this message to Congress: Make Jobs, Not War! Hands Off Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid! Restore Fair Tax Rates for the Rich and Giant Corporations! Austerity will increase poverty and cannot produce prosperity.
