SEIU's "99% Spring"

Dear Jim,

The 99% Spring is here! Join us.

This week, we make history, with people at more than 900 events nationwide are coming together for an unprecedented movement-wide training.

This week, we'll learn to tell the story of our economy and what went wrong, we’ll learn the history of nonviolent direct action in America, and prepare ourselves take nonviolent direct action and stand up to corporate dominance of our economy and our democracy.

This week, we draw a line in the sand against corporate control of our economy and democracy, using our very bodies to say, as one, “No more.”

This week, we’ll run more than 900 trainings in union halls, living rooms, places of worship, community centers and parks.

This week, everyday people will stand up and prepare to take courageous, visionary, morally compelling direct action. This week, we will continue the legacy of those who secured women's ability to freely vote, who broke down the old Jim Crow, who led strikes and formed labor unions.

This week, we will join the struggle to create that kind of change again.

Join us in making change - join the local 99% Spring training TODAY.

Last year, from the Wisconsin workers who took over their state capitol to Occupy Wall Street, we saw a new movement in America using direct action to highlight the unprecedented inequality that's destroying our country.

The 99% Spring is our chance to maintain and broaden that changemaking energy, and learn how we can take action to challenge corporate power, end tax giveaways to the 1%, fight the influence of money in politics, and create an economy that works for all of us.

Our movement is uniting, and this is a chance for all of us to come together to create a new future for our country. Will you join in?
