Join the New Selma to Montgomery March for Justice
02/29/2012 - Nearly 47 years ago, civil rights activists of different races, ages and walks of life were attacked by armed officers on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala., as they marched for racial justice. This day became known as Bloody Sunday.

This Sunday, AFL-CIO union members, civil rights, community and faith activists will begin a five-day re-enactment of the historic 1965 Selma to Montgomery, Ala., civil rights march. The march will focus attention on new attacks on voting rights, immigrants, workers’ rights and education. read more>>>

"We may be marching from Selma to Montgomery, but this is about the Wisconsins, Ohios, Indianas, Arizonas, the Michigans and any other state where they’re blatantly attacking our rights."

They have a link, and more, at the above link, and here's a link if you can't join the march physically but want to sign a pledge of solidarity!

Occupy the road from Selma to Montgomery once again, for the issues then are still within the Country and now expanding once more!
