March for jobs set April 16 in Portland
To demand “Jobs, Not Cuts!”
Portland Jobs with Justice is organiz-
ing a mass rally and march, backed
by 49 labor organizations and faith
and community activist groups. The
event, “Portland Rising: March and
Rally for Jobs and Benefits, Not
Cuts,” will take place at noon, Satur-
day, April 16, at Pioneer Courthouse
Square in Portland.
Along the lines of the mass
demonstrations in Wisconsin, the
event is intended to be family
friendly and strong in spirit.
The rally will call for a national
public works program to put people
back to work, rebuild crumbling in-
frastructure, reduce reliance on fossil
fuels, expand public transportation
systems, and strengthen education. It
will also call for maintaining and
strengthening safety net programs. It
will oppose cuts to Social Security,
Medicare and Medicaid, and say no
to new trade agreements. And it will
call on Congress to tax the super-rich
fairly and to redirect the money be-
ing spent in military occupations in
the Middle East.
The full list of endorsers, and
more information about the event, is
available online at jwjpdx.org.

conservative majority. But that outcome
could rest on the results of an April 5
Supreme Court election, which pits a
conservative incumbent against a more
progressive challenger.
Meanwhile, opponents of the new
law are busy working to recall eight Re-
publican state senators, and have vowed
to begin a recall of Walker next January.
If you ever thought solidarity was
charity for the other guy, think again.
Solidarity is collective self-preservation.
It’s a group survival ethic, and working
people as a class are going to need it.
Anti-union forces are feeling their
oats. If they succeed in turning private
sector workers against public sector
workers, in pitting parents against
teachers, teachers against the teachers
union, it won’t be long before they
come after the stragglers.
Now would be the time to lend a
hand and get involved.

Rally & March for
JOBS
and benefits, not cuts!
SATURDAY, APRIL 16 th at NOON
Pioneer Courthouse Square
EIGHT MILLION JOBS were lost in the 2008 meltdown. Today there are more than five job
seekers for every job. Congress should focus on creating jobs, not cutting the safety net!
Let’s stand up for community values!
• Create good jobs now—stop job-killing trade
agreements.
• Protect and strengthen the safety net.
• Support collective bargaining as 15,000 workers
launch campaign for fairness at work in Portland.
• Wall Street should pay for the economic crisis,
not working people!
Please bring non-perishable food
items for the Oregon Food Bank.
For more info, please call JwJ at 503-236-5573.
