Unions representing 70,000 workers at US Airways and American Airlines called on the U.S. District Court and the U.S. Department of Justice to move quickly to trial so that the merger decision could be made without delay.

Each of the four convening organizations of the Democracy Initiative worked to mobilize members to attend the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The leaders of the coalition ? CWA President Larry Cohen, Greenpeace Executive Director Phil Radford, NAACP President Benjamin Jealous and Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune ? released this statement on the eve of the event.

Today, Organizing for Action has launched a digital day of action to engage supporters of comprehensive immigration reform.

Fifty years ago, more than 200,000 people gathered in the nation?s capital to demand civil liberty and economic opportunity for all. The march was the largest demonstration for jobs and freedom in the country?s history, and it was there that Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his celebrated ?I Have a Dream? speech. This Saturday, civil rights, labor and social justice organizations will be rallying once again on the National Mall to honor the historic demonstration.

CWA joined hundreds of labor, fair trade, environmental and community activists in an energetic march through downtown Minneapolis on Tuesday, August 20 to protest the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a massive trade deal that could jeopardize American jobs, wages, consumer safety, health care and environmental standards.
