More than 1,000 Community Members Call for Jobs Not Cuts in Downtown Los Angeles

 
When Wall Street needed help after their greed and recklessness crashed our economy, Congress rushed to bail them out with billions in taxpayer money – now Wall Street corporations and banks are sitting on $2 trillion in cash but failing to invest in local communities to create jobs. Congress is making the crisis worse by refusing to tax millionaires and wealthy corporations to fund job creating legislation and prevent devastating budget cuts.
Protests continued in LA throughout the day, including a second downtown march with hundreds of activists starting at the civic center at noon. Similar protests were held on Nov. 17 in dozens of cities around the country, including New York, Chicago, Washington, DC, Seattle, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Houston and Miami.
