New Jersey Conference on
Legalization For All, Jobs for All,
February 12 and 13, 2011
Rutgers University, Newark, NJ
Room 123 Ackerson Hall, 180 University Ave
Flyers in English, Spanish, French attached
The NJ Immigrant and Worker Rights Coalition, joining with other organizations demands JOBS FOR ALL, A Massive Public Works Program.
A Public Works Program will provide government jobs at prevailing wages to expand housing, mass transit, education; to clean up the environment and to develop cheap, clean, safe energy. This program is to be paid for by ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and by taxing the rich and the corporations who created the crisis.
We will not fight against ourselves for the available jobs but will unite in one movement to win JOBS FOR ALL WHO LIVE HERE, immigrant and native-born, regardless of previous convictions-- no one denied work. So to get Jobs for all, we demand LEGALIZATION FOR ALL.
