Week of Action to Demand a Real Economic Recovery for Working
People
September 24-October 1, 2009 

ONE YEAR AGO Congress & the Federal Reserve bailed-out Wall
Street and the insurers, claiming they were "too big to fail."
ONE YEAR LATER... 

Workers are losing their jobs, homes, healthcare, & retirement
security 

The Bailed-Out Banks continue to award executive bonuses while
refusing to finance jobs and evicting renters and homeowners
through foreclosures 

Corporations still ?own? Congress & are continuing with
?business as usual? by blocking measures like health care reform
and the Employee Free Choice Act 

The G-20, an international group of powerful bankers and
governments, is meeting in Pittsburgh (9/24) to push for more of
the same failed policies that created the economic crisis.

& A NEW ECONOMY THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE

Jobs & the Unemployment Crisis: 

-Stop layoffs and develop a ?jobs creation program? to create
millions of good jobs in our communities 
-Pass the Employee Free Choice and other measures to ensure
worker dignity 
-Prioritize the unemployment crisis, extending and expanding
benefits, including access to health care 

Homes: 

-Keep people in their homes; stop the foreclosures & evictions 
-Fund affordable housing and community reinvestment 

Health Care: 

-Enact quality, public, affordable health care for all 

A New Economy that Works for Everyone: 

-Protect retirement security and pensions 
-Fix our broken trade and immigration laws 
-Support education and human needs 
-Make corporations and the wealth pay a fair share of taxes. 
-Break up the corporate giants & create a financial system that
works for all 

Join our growing coalition of workers, students & youth, people
of faith, and community members. On the anniversary of the
bailouts, some will send members to Pittsburgh for the G-20
meetings while others will take on banks and other corporate
criminals in our own communities who have continued to make
money while the rest of us suffer. 

We need to join together and build power and momentum through
bold action in order to transform our economy into something
that works for all of us.
