Jobs with Justice March 2nd Day of Action http://tiny.cc/wgqom For the past weeks we have seen students, workers, faith and community 
come together and prevent attacks to the public sector across the country. 
These attacks are threatening the basic structures of our society, 
including the right to an education and the right to full and fair employment.
It is time to take action and demand a stop to the cuts! Sierra Club: Stand With Unions and Sign The Petition! http://tiny.cc/zcjbf Hard hats and tree huggers share fundamental values --including the right to safe and healthy
working conditions and the creation of good clean energy jobs. Take a stand by adding 
your name to the petition: "I stand with working families. We deserve the right to form unions 
as we see fit to protect our jobs and our communities."
