We are a powerful new coalition of educators, clergy, civic, labor, and other leaders, working to denounce the recent slew of smear campaigns, factual distortions, and ugly attacks on AFSCME, The Apollo Alliance, ACORN, SEIU, Van Jones and other organizations and individuals working for social and economic justice. These attacks are clearly part of a broader coordinated effort to weaken the power of diverse groups working to level the playing field in America.
As unemployment, foreclosures, and other problems continue to rise, community, faith, labor, and other leaders are standing together to restore the issues that matter to Americans, and to proclaim, "We will not be divided".
