On Saturday, August 11th, 2012, the National AFL-CIO chose the city of Philadelphia as the site to rally to send a message of solidarity to political leaders to refocus America’s national priorities on the needs of working men and women, demanding an economy that works for all, not just those at the top. The “Workers Stand for America” rally brought together 40,000 + working people – union and nonunion – in the run-up to the Democratic and Republican national conventions to urge elected officials to stand with working families in supporting a Second Bill of Rights promoting individual freedom and economic economic opportunity for all.
