NOTE: we will be OUTSIDE Cobo, dress warm!

37 years ago, the City of Detroit invoked eminent domain to gift the entire historic Poletown neighborhood in Hamtramck to GM, wiping out an entire community so the company could build the factory it intends to shutter.

Just 10 years ago, the people rescued GM from the brink of collapse with a $51 billion bailout.

Movie "FIX IT -- Health Care at the Tipping Point" followed by panel discussion. Many families are forced to make a horrible choice between needed drugs or treatment or food. The solution is single payer (HR 676 - Improved Medicare for All).

Solidarity Sunday was created to unify the membership and to come up with solutions that best serve all members interests and common goals we all share in hopes of moving us forward and to protect the rights of each member and the interest of our Union as a whole, to regain power over our union, leadership and collective bargaining process. Not sure who all lives in the surrounding area but this event is open to all Union members, in Solidarity. An injury to one is an injury to all. Remember, United We Stand or Divided We Fall. Equality + unity = Solidarity.
