Today, three million more US children live in poverty than before the Great Recession of 2008. From Chicago to Puerto Rico to Greece, the rich are trying to make the rest of us pay for their bankrupt economic policies. Our schools, homes, hospitals, retirement, and more are under attack by the politicians, bureaucrats, and billionaires.
Join us for this panel discussion with union militants and activists about how we can fight back and resist the wave of austerity.
