But now it is time for action. Tomorrow, Saturday, April 11, A New Way Forward will be leading protests across the nation to make sure our leaders in Washington hear our message loud and clear. Join your fellow citizens and demand that our tax dollars be used to fix our economy, rather than protect those who helped destroy it. Click here right now to find a rally near you.
Without demand from the public, nothing will change. Matt Yglesias writes:
... the moment of crisis seems like the only time when the political power of the financial sector can feasibly be overcome. If we say we’re going to deal with this later, after we’ve fixed the immediate problems, then attention is going to wander on to other things.
We need to let President Barack Obama and Congress know that we won't take it anymore; join A New Way Forward tomorrow and make sure your voice is heard!
