We Are One Rally in Atlanta on Wed. Feb. 23 at 4 PM.
When workers in Wisconsin were faced with an unprecedented attack, they responded with an unprecedented show of solidarity. Now, we need your help to extend that energy everywhere.

Please join our "We Are One" action near you.

WHAT: “We Are One” rally in Atlanta for teachers, firefighters, nurses, construction workers and all who are under attack by governors and state legislatures.
WHEN: Wednesday, Feb. 23, at 4 p.m.
WHERE: State Capitol
206 Washington St.
Atlanta

In Wisconsin, workers who are under attack—and the communities that know and respect them—created such an outcry that all 14 Democratic members of the Wisconsin state Senate left the Senate chambers in protest, indefinitely delaying a vote on Gov. Scott Walker’s anti-worker bill.
This is the kind of strength it takes to win victories for workers. We need to make our voices heard whenever and wherever attacks occur, in Wisconsin and in our own states.
All over the country, Americans are standing up to politicians who are launching political attacks on firefighters, teachers, nurses, snowplow drivers, EMTs and other hardworking people who keep our communities safe. Our politicians should be creating jobs—not attacking nurses, teachers and firefighters.
When we stand together, we cannot be silenced. Please join our rally.
In solidarity,
Working America, AFL-CIO
P.S. After giving tax cuts to businesses to create an artificial financial crisis in his state, Wisconsin’s Gov. Walker tried to ram through a sham “budget repair” bill that actually is a huge assault on Wisconsin’s workers. It would undermine good, middle-class jobs and rob some 200,000 workers of their democratic right to collectively bargain for a better life. Wisconsin's public-sector union members are under direct attack today—but tomorrow it will be all of us, if we don't make our voices heard. Please join our rally and stand up for good, middle-class jobs across America.
