Description
On Saturday, Jan. 9, 2010, hundreds of activists from the labor, civil rights, immigrant, prisoner advocacy, student, health, anti-war movements & more will meet & march & rally to tell the new governor & the Virginia General Assembly:
(1) Don't balance the budget on the backs of Virginia's workers!
(2) Raise Virginia's income tax on large corporations – the 2nd lowest in the country!
(3) Enact an immediate moratorium on layoffs, cutbacks, evictions & foreclosures!
(4) No scapegoating of immigrants! Equality for people of color, women & the LGBT community!
(5) Money for jobs & education, not for prisons, wars & occupations!
On Jan. 13, the VIRGINIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY will be back in session, determined to balance the budget by laying off more state workers, cutting services & aid to the cities, raising fees, fines & university tuition.
IT'S TIME TO TELL THE POLITICIANS:
No More Budget Cuts or Layoffs!
Make the Big Corporations Pay Their Fair Share!
