Unions, Community & Occupy New Haven March for Good Jobs & Safe Streets December 7, 2011
Posted by Local 34 in Uncategorized.comments closed
Local 34 joined with our brothers and sisters in Local 35 and GESO, with other union members and with a wide range of community leaders, students, and members of the Occupy New Haven movement for a rally and march last night. Participants called for good jobs and safe streets, an end to foreclosures and the violence that has plagued New Haven this year.
About 1,000 people crowded in to City Hall at the beginning of the action
Speakers included Chris Garaffa from Occupy New Haven, LaToya Agnew of the New Elm City Dream, and Tyisha Walker, a Cook’s Helper in Commons Dining Hall who is the Secretary-Treasurer of Local 35. A video commemorated struggles for social and economic justice in New Haven and elsewhere.

The New Haven Independent published a long story online with a number of great photos, New Haven Register posted a great story with video, and local news Channel 8 also covered the story.
The march stretched the length of Wall Street from Church to High Street
