Thurs Dec 8 5pm-7pm Candle Light Vigil and Silent March for Unemployed

Unemployment insurance is set to expire on December 31, 2011. If Congress doesn’t act before the end of the year, the lifeline for jobless families and local economies that are already struggling will be cut-off.

We hope you will join us to help ensure that this doesn’t happen. The San Diego Labor Council, along with our affiliated unions and the Interfaith Committee for Worker Justice (ICWJ), will be holding events as part of a nationwide effort to bring attention to the need to extend unemployment insurance. The vigil and silent march will start at the Civic Center – in Downtown San Diego at 5 p.m.  Join the Facebook event here
