On the day we honor MLK Jr.'s birthday, we will be joining many organizations and individuals to march to save jobs and stop budget cuts. Over 1,000 bus drivers are being threatened with layoffs. CTA service cuts will affect 18 percent of bus service and 9 percent of train service, mostly in working and poor communities. The criminal CTA cuts and layoffs are scheduled to take effect on Feb. 7, 2010.

The Chicago Public Schools are planning to close another 25 to 30 schools.

All over the country, workers continue to face mass unemployment, severe budget cuts to education, the lose of health care, mounting foreclosures and much more. In Chicago, the official unemployment rate is over 10 percent and over 15 percent for African Americans.

Funding for badly needed state and local agencies and programs are under a merciless attack at the same time trillions of dollars are being spent on endless war and Wall Street bail outs. Mayor Daley and Governor Quinn have recently handed out billions of dollars to Morgan Stanley, United Airlines, UPS, big real estate developers and more.

It's time to fight back, stand together and demand money for jobs, transit, education, health care and more. Take to the streets with us on January 18. An injury to one is an injury to all!

The Jan. 18 protest is initiated by Public Workers Unite! and endorsed by NoCTAcuts.org, AFSCME Local 2858, Caucus of Rank & File Educators, Jobs with Justice, Little Village Environmental Justice Organization, ANSWER Chicago, Socialist Alternative, and Solidarity.
