About 50 people joined a lunch time rally in downtown Salem to deliver a message to Kurt Schrader.
The chanted message - delivered in front of his Salem office - was clear and loud: We Need Good Jobs! Now!
Several spoke about foreclosures, the effects of budget cuts on the social safety network, the job-killing Korea Free Trade Act (supported by Schrader), precarious family budgets and homelessness. A staffer from Mr. Schrader's office listened and took notes.
The action was part of www.rebuildthedream.com, a national movement sponsored by a wide coalition in Oregon including:
RURAL ORGANIZING PROJECT • WE ARE OREGON • SEIU 503 • SEIU 49 • MOVEON.ORG • AFSCME • PCUN • OREGON ACTION • JOBS WITH JUSTICE • ALLIANCE FOR DEMOCRACY • US UNCUT • ECONOMIC FAIRNESS OREGON • UNITE-HERE LOCAL 9 • OUR OREGON • PRIDE AT WORK • BASIC RIGHTS OREGON
