ONE NATION WORKING TOGETHER GATHERING MOMENTUM

Rochester, N.Y.-- On Saturday, October 2, 2010, hundreds of thousands of Americans from across the country will gather at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. to demonstrate our re-commitment to change.  Folks from our area are leaving town for D.C. as we speak.

The One Nation March will feature human and civil rights leaders, labor leaders, environmental and peace activists, faith leaders, actors, celebrities and sports figures – all marching together to help Put America Back to Work and to Pull America Back Together. We come together to help reorder our national priorities so that investments in people come first.

 CSEA is proud to support the One Nation Working Together March in Washington D.C.. We represent one of the most diverse memberships of any labor union in America. We have members of many different generations. We are conservatives, moderates, progressives and liberals, non-believers and people of every faith, members of every ethnic group and national heritage, gender identity, sexual orientation, and physical ability. In short, we are a microcosm of the rich diversity of the United States and the U.S. Labor Movement.

There are buses leaving from several locations in western New York this evening.  A press conference is planned for 10:00 pm at Monroe Community College, where the journey to our nation's capital begins for some of our area residents.  Stay tuned to the CSEA Voice Reporter for up to date reports from Washington, D.C. this weekend.
