They are launching their first national joint action on April 4, the 49th anniversary of King's assassination, with "Fight Racism, Raise Pay" protests in two dozen cities, including Atlanta; Milwaukee; Memphis, Tennessee; Chicago; Boston; Denver; and Las Vegas.
King was gunned down in 1968 while on a visit to Memphis to support striking black sanitation workers.
"When MLK was assassinated, he was talking to workers who were dealing with union-busting, unfair wages," said Kendall Fells, organizing director for the Fight for $15. "The bottom line is that every day, workers of color across the country face deep-seated racism that would seem to be out of Dr. King's era, but sadly it's still happening today."

Nothing to do with race, do they think the achievers with skin other than white had it handed to them. If so, "axe" good people like Allen West, David Clarke, Dr. Carson, etc., etc.
ReplyDeleteSome low wage earners are not worth what they make now. Nothing to do with skin color or racism, whatever the hell that means.
If you don't make as much as you'd like, get more education and experience. If the well paying jobs you want aren't where you live, live where they are.
