On April 27, 2010, Working America members will hold an event outside

Wells Fargo on the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Charleston to tell

big banks: “I am not your ATM.” Participants will send the message

to Wall Street that working people will no longer clean up its mess, and

call for financial reform. Working America members will take pictures in

front of ATMs delivering a personal message to Wall Street that will be

posted at www.notyouratm.com.

Working America will deliver the photos along with 10,000 handwritten

letters and messages recorded for big banks throughout the week and

during shareholder meetings so Wall Street will hear, see and read

firsthand how angry Main Street is.

Working America is calling for strong financial reform that will hold

big banks accountable. The “I am not your ATM” events are part of a

national, week-long mobilization against the big banks and Wall Street

firms led by the AFL-CIO.

The SOS Save Our Schools theme is taking off all over the nation.  Most Americans realize the importance of education to our future.  With a bad economy, low tax revenues, and state budget shortfalls, many  governments are looking at education as a place to cut.

Parents, students, and concerned citizens everywhere are taking up the banner of SOS.  The logo even appeared in a nationally syndicated cartoon seen here.

Just do a Google search for ‘Save Our Schools’ and you will find numerous websites that use this slogan all over the USA.

The organizations are also utilizing social media sites like Facebook, to get their message out there.

In Nevada, students from CSN, UNLV, and NSC wore the SOS: Save Our Schools shirts in Carson City to protest the cuts to education that are now over 7%.

Next year the budget deficit will likely be as high as 50% of the State of Nevada’s budget.  With that looming, students are continuing the fight by registering to vote and keeping supporters updated via their web presence.

We have a tab at the top of this page dedicated to the cause.  In addition, we have the Facebook icon to the right in black and yellow colors, that takes you to our Fan Page for SOS: Save Our Schools.

Thank you for your support.  If any graphics design or printing people want to help our cause, we need fliers and posters to promote community awareness.  Our contact information is listed above.  Save Our Schools!
