What happens to an American dream deferred? We Minnesotans don't have to look far to answer that question.
Minnesota has one of the worst racial job gaps in the country--with 22% of African Americans unemployed.
A report from Transportation for America found 1,149 of Minnesota’s bridges, 8.8% of bridges in our state, are structurally deficient. On average, more than 83,000 Minnesotans use these unsound bridges daily..
On November 17, we'll rally and march to demand that we bridge the gap in jobs and infrastructure. RSVP here to join us.
We'll
be gathering outside of the U of M Law School and marching to the 10th
Avenue Bridge to demand that we get all people back to work by fixing
our crumbling infrastructure.
RSVP here to join us--and to ask your friends to come with us.
Like
bridge and road repairs, our dreams have been deferred too long. We
need good jobs for all. Let’s pay for them by getting Wall St. and the
wealthy to pay their fair share. Our families from all walks of life
need livable GOOD jobs.
WHAT:
Bridge the Gap for Jobs and Racial Equity March and Rally.
