One Nation Working Together
At the Lincoln Memorial, more than 10,000 CWAers were a sea of red. We are One Nation with civil rights and community activists, teachers, environmentalists, members of faith groups and many more. We know our voices can’t be ignored and on Nov. 2, we’ll be One Nation Working Together again, and will elect leaders who will support the fight for jobs, justice and an economy that works for all.

CWA President Larry Cohen with Xerox/EZ Pass worker Barbara Elliott
“We will build One Nation, Working Together. We know that a minority in the U.S. Senate has prevented discussion of 400 bills passed in the House of Representatives. We also know that working together we can work for progressive change on November 2. We can work for democracy in the U.S. Senate. As Barbara’s story demonstrates, real change is hard but not hopeless. We are tough, we are united, we are determined and we have done hard before!”
NAACP President Ben Jealous
“We have come too far to be turned back now. We will keep moving forward by taking one step at a time in the right direction. Coming together today is one. Getting our friends and neighbors to the polls on 11.2.10 is the next one.”
Margaret Moran, president, League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC)
“We stand with veterans, youth, faith groups, labor and business to demand jobs, justice and education for all.”
Ed Schultz, One Nation Working Together moderator and host of MSNBC’s The Ed Schultz Show

“Our union brothers and sisters across America: they have vilified you, they don’t want you to organize, they suppress your vote, they delay collective bargaining. We will not stand by silent. We will be there on Nov. 2.”
Van Jones, former Obama administration green jobs czar
“We can fight pollution and poverty at the same time by putting America back to work. Each wind turbine, 8,000 finely machined parts, more than a car. Each wind turbine has as much steel as in 26 cars. We could put our steelworkers back to work, our auto workers back to work, to power America.”
