Celebrate El Salvador Friday

On March 15, 2009, FMLN candidate Mauricio Funes won the elections in El Salvador. Seventeen years after the end of the civil war, this victory brings new hope for the people of El Salvador. ARENA ­ the right wing party of El Salvador responsible for the killing of thousands of people including the murder of Bishop Romero ­ is no longer in power and we need to celebrate.

This Friday May 15 we are getting together at the People's Center, 37 Howe st, New Haven,at 8 pm.

Add your name to the statement to the Legislature:

NO CUTS - NO LAYOFFS - TAX THE RICH

WE PLEDGE to stand together and reach out with our unions and community organizations to co-workers, friends, family and neighbors.
WE CALL UPON THE CT STATE LEGISLATURE: The top priority in this economic crisis is to meet the needs of the people! Layoffs of public workers and cuts in basic services will make the crisis even worse, and are unacceptable. Stand firm for a truly progressive tax system. Act to eliminate the state spending cap so the people of Connecticut can receive maximum federal funding.
WE COMMIT to keep the grass roots momentum going to close the income gap and secure good jobs with union rights; health care; affordable housing; equal, quality public education, and a clean, safe and peaceful environment for everyone living in our state.
