Walker Recall Going Down to the Wire

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

Working families across the country have been joining together in unprecedented ways to stand up to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and his radical, anti-worker politics. With Election Day less than a week away "It's going to take a collective effort from all our brothers and sisters to show Gov. Walker and his right-wing backers that they cannot divide and conquer the labor movement and the middle class," says Metro Council President Jos Williams. "Here’s how you can help: the AFL-CIO is hosting a phonebank to Wisconsin working families this week, daily 10a-8p at the AFL-CIO, 815 16th Street NW." Show up anytime or email epark@aflcio.org. Phones are also available in Gaithersburg at UFCW 1994; contact Josh Ardison (240-750-9699 / jardison@mcgeo.org). "Your support is crucial to making sure working families are victorious on June 5," says Williams. When you go, send us a photo -- streetheat@dclaborarchives.org -- and we'll run it in Union City!
