Workers and allies from all over the nation will gather to sign a Second Bill of Rights and focus attention on the needs of working families. We’ll kick off with a rally at Verizon’s offices at 9th and Race Streets, at 10 a.m. Our message: We’re Standing Up to Verizon!

“I’ll be standing up to Verizon and standing up for the middle class in Philadelphia on August 11. After more than a year of negotiations, Verizon—an incredibly profitable company—is determined to take away our pension and raise health care costs for current workers and retirees. And it’s not just Verizon. The middle class is under attack by greedy corporations like never before. That’s why I’ll be there with my brothers and sisters on August 11.”
