March and Rally for Jobs and a Real Economic Recovery: Across Massachusetts jobs are being cut and thousands of workers laid off. Profitable companies like Verizon are using the current recession as an excuse to cut jobs. Universities and hospitals with fat endowments are making cuts. Long overdue construction on state infrastructure is stalled or moving too slowly. State and local government are slashing critical public services and eliminating jobs -- just when we should be expanding them. Those of us still working are just one paycheck away from a pink slip. One year after the federal government gave big business and the banks hundreds of billions of dollars for the bail out, corporations aren't creating the jobs that were promised. We need jobs and we want to work. Let's put the heat on corporations doing business in Massachusetts to provide the good jobs our communities need! Join the fight against this jobless recovery and for an economy that works for everyone. |

CEJ will hold a press conference and rally at the Waterfront Place Condos to protest economic development in Buffalo that exclusively benefits the wealthy at the expense of working families. The City of Buffalo amended the boundaries of its Empire Zone so that the Waterfront Place Condos would be eligible for tax subsidies. The wealthy buyers of these condos, some of which are selling for as much as $1 milliion, will not have to pay property taxes for at least seven years.
