FYI:
April 4th is also the anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther
King Jr. as well as the anniversary of his famous speech "A Time to Break
SIlence." This is the speech in which King argues for a "radical
revolution of values," and for moving from a "thing oriented, to a person
oriented society,"--in short, for putting human needs ahead of profit
margins!
Which is all to say: what a GREAT day for a direct action rally raising the
issue of the conflict between the profits of the 1% and the needs of the
people (for mass transit service, among other things!)
Looking forward to building for this!
