In his final days, Dr. King planned a mass OCCUPATION FOR JOBS
Make MLK Day OCCUPY 4 JOBS DAY! Demand jobs, housing, education and people's rights!
10:00 A.M.
SATURDAY, JANUARY 14th
DEMONSTRATE at GROVE HALL POST OFFICE
647 Warren St, Dorchester (in Grove Hall)
SAVE JOBS AND SERVICES IN OUR COMMUNITIES!
Stop the Post Office shutdowns!
Stop the fraudulent, disastrous & totally unnecessary attack on our postal services!
• Rightwingers want to kill Postal Service:
slash 200,000+jobs or close 3,700 stations -
•—Most shutdowns are in poor communities,
where service is needed most.
• The postal service is NOT in financial crisis, it is subject to ridiculous
and unfair requirements imposed by a rightwing Congress in 2006.
Let your voice be heard:
No reduction in postal service - keep 6-day delivery!
No Post Office Closings - expand the postal service, don t destroy it!
Stop the PRIVATIZATION - the postal services belong to the people!
Demand a WPA style 30 million Jobs program at union wages for all, regardless of immigration status
Jobs for Youth - NOT JAILS!
Support the postal workers' unions:
*******
If Post Offices close & Saturday mail delivery ends...
Who will suffer?
V People who need medicine delivered
V People without computers or internet
V People who need money orders
V People who ship packages to relatives In need
V People who need a P.O. box due to lack of safe or permanent housing
V People who will have difficulty traveling to the remaining offices
and standing in long lines
V Businesses where postal workers spend their pay
V Whole communities, when formerly well-paid unionized workers can no longer afford their mortgages (Have you seen Detroit since the auto plants closed?)
V Children and grandchildren who will lose a source of funding for college
V More than 200,000 postal workers faced with losing their jobs!
From the inner cities to country roads, the overall prosperity
and health of populations already struggling are at risk
if congress cuts the U.S. Postal Service.
Save Our Jobs & Services!

This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager
