This weekend begins the March on Wall Street South! Charlotte will be the center of the political universe during the DNC, offering the opportunity to raise a people’s agenda.
The Coalition to March on Wall Street South is rallying behind the following demands:
Good jobs for all! Economic justice now — Make the banks and corporations pay for their crisis!- Money for education, health care, housing and all human needs, not for war and incarceration!
