The March is On For Pittsburg!

Gentle readers of this American Chronicle, Dr. Martin Luther King would be proud to know his movement did not die with him, and what he began a few short years ago continues today with a magnificent unification march and gathering in Pittsburgh...>
URGENT APPEAL: Support the March for Jobs & Tent City in Pittsburgh
Donate at http://bailoutpeople.org/donate.shtml
Dear Friends and Supporters,
Over the next few days, community organizers, activists, students, veterans, unemployed people and trade unionists will be arriving in Pittsburgh for the March for Jobs and Tent City. As the G20 assembles to discuss the global financial crisis, this broad coalition of people across the U.S. is building for this major protest to ensure that the voiceless are heard. This will be a week-long effort, starting on on Sunday, September 20 with a March for Jobs, and continuing with the Tent City which will last through Friday.
As we write, buses and car caravans are already on the road, some coming from as far away as Los Angeles. The jobs marchers will be dedicating their efforts to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who devoted the final days of his life to opening what he called a second civil rights movement, a movement for the right of all to a job or an income.
That movement is even more needed today than it was in Dr. King´s time.
We need your help today to make this a success. Unlike the politicians and financiers who will be meeting in luxury at the G20, our grassroots movement doesn't receive funding from insurance companies, big pharmaceuticals, or big banks. We're counting on you to do whatever you can to help make the March for Jobs and Tent City a success. Click here to make a donation now!
Last month marked 20 straight months of job losses - the longest since the Great Depression. Millions are out of work, foreclosures and evictions continue, and more than 47 million people in the U.S. have no medical insurance. Meanwhile, Washington is spending trillions of dollars for bailouts for corrupt bankers and for the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The economy is in ruins and millions of working people, especially from poor communities and communities of color, are suffering as a direct result of the war spending and the draconian cuts in essential social services.
Staying in the streets and building an independent people´s movement is more important than ever. In order to keep building this struggle, the Bail Out the People Movement needs your help now.
If you are committed to fighting back against the corporate bailouts and endless war, if you believe that everyone has a right to a job, health care, and housing, we are counting on you to make the largest donation you possibly can at this time. We need to cover substantial costs related to sound, tents, porta-johns, and many other expenses for the March for Jobs and Tent City - as well as buses to Pittsburgh. Whether you can donate $5 or $50, $1 or $1,000 we need your donations now! Every single dollar will help make the March for Jobs and Tent City a success.
Click here to make a much needed donation now!
We´ll see you on the streets on Sunday, September 20! For updates, maps, and more information, see http://www.bailoutpeople.org.
If you're planning to stay for the Tent City, please take a minute and let us know you're coming - http://www.bailoutpeople.org/septg20register.shtml.
