As part of a national day of action, “Billionaires for the Bailout” are meeting in the heart of Washington D.C. and making a special visit to their favorite banks that stand to make a profit from the proposed bailout. Come join the crowd of community members saying NO to the Billionaire’s proposal and YES to a real economic recovery package.

Join DC Jobs with Justice and allies in the struggle for social and economic justice to demand REAL economic reform that puts Main Street before Wall Street.

This week, in a “fast-tracked” process similar to the one that brought us the Patriot Act, Congress tried to pass a horrendous give-away package to greedy and unscrupulous bankers and corporate interests who created the conditions and mess we’re currently in. In a time when America wants a new direction, new politics, and new ideas to move us forward, we’re seeing Washington play their same old-games at the expense of the American taxpayer.

Join us in saying NO to the Billionaires for the Bailout!
