Jobs for Youth and Jobs for All, NOW!

I urge the U.S. Congress and President Barack Obama to pass comprehensive jobs legislation, NOW!

Now is the time to ensure that our future generations can have good jobs and economic stability. We say NO to the Sequester and other massive federal cutbacks. We say YES TO JOBS!!!

Why is this important?

The youth of our nation need economic stability. They are the future leaders, parents, workers, and thinkers of our country. They need good jobs to be able to contribute to society.

Skyrocketing student debt, restrictive immigration policy, and the rising attacks on the labor movement have all limited young peoples' ability to find employment that will allow them to live in dignity. Latino and African American youth still face employment discrimination, causing genocidal levels of poverty in these communities that fuel the vicious cycles of gun violence and incarceration. Instead, youth could be part of rebuilding our nation's infrastructure, training to teach in our public schools, building community centers , and so much more.

We say NO to the Sequester and endless other cutbacks that are being proposed under pressure from the 1%.

We say YES to jobs legislation. We say YES to investment in our infrastructure, student support system, and immigration reform.

Sign the petition to tell Congress and President Barack Obama we support jobs for youth and jobs for all, NOW!
