Forwarded from Laura McSpedon [log in to unmask] Please forward widely! * * * * C A L L T O A C T I O N * * * * 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!
