From the Philadelphia Council AFL-CIO

This August will mark the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, the massive rally initiated by civil rights and union leader A. Philip Randolph at which Dr. Martin Luther King Jr delivered his extraordinary “I Have a Dream” speech. Despite the legal and social progress that we’ve made in the last half-century, we are a long way from the vision outlined by Dr. King and the other leaders and activists who joined the March 50 years ago.

Join the mass rally on Saturday, August 24th to commemorate the original March on Washington and to commit ourselves to achieving its goals of full employment and justice for all Americans! District 1199C has arranged for buses from their union hall to the rally on Saturday the 24th.
