National Student Labor Day of Action
April 4th, 2002
For the 3rd year in a row, students will take action for workers'
rights and economic justice on April 4th, the 34th anniversary of the
assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr while he was in Memphis,
TN supporting striking sanitation workers. Students will demand:
> Stop the Post-September 11th Attack on Workers and Immigrants!
> We want Living Wage Jobs and the Right to Organize - on Campus, in
our Communities, and throughout the World!
> Stop Sweatshops - They Exploit Us All!
> People Are Not for Sale! Stop Private Prisons!
Over the last few years, students across the country have been
building a powerful movement against corporate greed. Whether
supporting worker organizing on their campuses and in their
communities, standing up against corporate bailouts and increasing
layoffs, or fighting for living wages, immigrant rights, and an end
to sweatshops, students everywhere are organizing for social and
economic justice.
This April 4, 2002, the Student Labor Action Project (SLAP) of Jobs
with Justice and the United States Student Association (USSA) along
with United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS) and the Not With Our
Money Campaign of the Prison Moratorium Project (PMP) are again co-
sponsoring a nationwide student labor day of action for social and
economic justice on this important day in our country's history.
April 4th, 2002, is the third annual National Student Labor Day of
Action, but it will differ from previous ones in important ways. The
rights of workers, especially those of immigrant workers, have come
under increasing attack since September 11th. Actions around the
country, whether or not they deal directly with this issue, will
reflect these changed circumstances.
In 2001, there were over 80 actions on and around April 4th, and
there are likely to be well over 100 actions this year. This day of
action signals the growth of the campus movement for economic and
social justice as students demand immigrant workers' rights, living
wage jobs and the right to organize, no more sweatshops, and an end
to private prison!
LET US KNOW IF YOU'RE PLANNING AN ACTION SO THAT WE CAN GET YOU MORE
