Save the Date: May 22 Set for Huge Citizen's Rally in Trenton

Thousands of CWA members and their families will join tens of thousands of other union members, students, veterans, civil rights advocates, retirees, concerned taxpayers and community activists for an enormous rally in Trenton on May 22, as concerned residents from all corners of New Jersey descend on the State House to oppose Chris Christie’s disastrous budget priorities.

“Everyone from public workers to seniors to students to veterans are going to see their taxes increased and their services diminished if Chris Christie gets his way.  Everyone except the millionaires who are getting a tax cut,” said CWA State Director Hetty Rosenstein.  “This rally will be a huge outpouring of those of us who will be affected if Chris Christie gets his way, and we are going to tell the State Legislature that it’s time to stand up to his budget priorities.”

CWA will be joining hundreds of other community groups and CWA is currently in the process of renting buses, setting up carpools, monitoring train schedules--anything necessary to make sure such an overwhelming number of people can make it to Trenton.
