Time for Justice, Time for Jobs Webinar and Congressional Call-In Day: Dec. 17-18 The presidential administration is urging the House of Representatives to pass a job creation bill before Dec. 22. President Obama has said that transportation infrastructure spending will be a significant part of the bill. Your experience and our studies have shown that the jobs the stimulus produced did not go to the people who need them most – disadvantaged people: low income people, people of color, women and homeless/formerly homeless people. Now is the time to take action to guarantee that any new jobs bill contains strong workforce equity requirements. On Thur., Dec. 17th from 2-3pm ET, join our Webinar online or by phone for analysis, talking points, and training with: · Judith Bell, PolicyLink · Dr. Todd Swanstrom, Public Policy Research Center · Rev. Paul Slack, ISAIAH On Fri., Dec. 18th, join our National Congressional Call-In Day targeting Rep. James Oberstar and Rep. David Obey, the House members who have the most say over who will get the jobs. Visit the Take Action page at www.transportationequity.org for more details. · Rep.
