4-4-11: People of Conscience Stand as One

On April 4, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was assassinated in Memphis, where he stood with sanitation workers demanding the right to bargain collectively and pursue their dream of a better life.
On April 4, 2011, and the days surrounding it, Southern California working families will stand together with working people in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, and other states where politicians backed by corporate CEOs are trying to take away the rights Dr. King gave his life for.
