MLK Day Weekend Event - A Celebration of Unity, Equality, and Democracy

December 21, 2015

SAVE THE DATE for this SEBAC-organized event!

In Connecticut, where the middle class is shrinking, where huge corporations make billions in profits while paying workers less than $10 an hour, and Koch Brothers-funded front groups attack workers for having unions, where critical public services are repeatedly cut and the richest among us pay the lowest tax rates, and where unemployment for Black and Latino people is two to three times higher than for white people, there is a path forward.

More than 50 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. articulated a powerful vision for Unity, Equality & Democracy - a vision that challenged us to fight for genuine equality - for racial justice and economic equality - and to strengthen our democracy. We want to ignite this call for justice within the hearts and minds of families and communities across our state. Join us on the Saturday of Martin Luther King weekend, January 16th, at 10am as we celebrate that vision and talk about concrete ways to move it closer to reality. Labor and Civil Rights -- one movement for a better tomorrow (location: Bethel AME Church, 1154 Blue Hills Ave., Bloomfield).
