NAACP, SEIU, United Auto Workers, AFL-CIO: March on Washington Oct. 2

The Leadership Conference on Civil Rights has also joined the fight. It is urging the Senate to support the legislation and extend jobless benefits through the end of the year, stating that doing so "will help the economy recover while providing badly needed assistance in today's historic economic crisis."

The civil rights leaders go on to point out that over 1.2 million workers have lost benefits by the end of last week. Will the GOP listen? Only if forced to.

Frustrated by the ongoing stalemate in Congress, civil rights and labor groups have called for a national march for jobs and justice in Washington on Oct. 2. The march will be held under the theme of One Nation, One Dream.

The march has the support of the NAACP, SEIU, the United Auto Workers and the AFL-CIO.
