This march and rally will highlight the planks of the national Peoples' Climate March: 

Directly and rapidly reduce greenhouse gas and toxic pollution to successfully combat climate change and improve public health 

Mandate a transition to an equitable and sustainable New Energy and Economic Future that limits the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels 

Provide a Just Transition for communities and workers negatively impacted by the shift to a New Energy and Economic Future that includes targeted economic opportunity and provides stable income, health care, and education 

Demand that every job pays a wage of at least $15 an hour, protects workers, and provides a good standard of living, pathways out of poverty, and a right to organize 

Ensure that investments are targeted to create pathways for low-income people and people of color to access good jobs and improve the lives of communities of color, indigenous peoples, low-income people, small farmers, women, and workers. 

Make bold investments in the resilience of states, cities, tribes, and communities that are threatened by climate change; including massive investments in infrastructure systems from water, transportation, and solid waste to the electrical grid and safe, green building and increasing energy efficiency that will also create millions of jobs in the public and private sector 

Reinvest in a domestic industrial base that drives towards an equitable and sustainable New Energy and Economic Future, and fight back against the corporate trade-induced global race to the bottom 

Market- and policy-based mechanisms must protect human rights and critical, native ecosystems and reduce pollution at source 

Rally Against Right to Work

Join us at the Mercer County Courthouse on March 18th at 4:00 pm for a Rally Against RIGHT TO WORK legislation moving through the PA Legislature.

 

Join the fight to protect PA Union jobs!

 

We'll hear from representatives from:

PSEA (past and current members)

AFL-CIO

MW Coordinating Council for Public Schools

AFSCME

and more...

Right-to-work laws will:

Weaken Labor Unions

Lower Wages

Reduce Employee Safety

Allow employee termination without just cause

It's important that we come together and call attention to this legislation and make sure our representatives know we stand against it and any legislation that tries to limit the rights of our unions.

 

The larger the crowd the stronger the message. 

 

Share this with your family and friends and we'll see you there!
