Massive Union Presence Expected at March on Washington
AFT and AFT-Maryland invite members to participate in the 2013 March on Washington, Saturday, August 24th. The nation’s unions will be represented en mass at the August 24th March on Washington. As in 1963, the nation’s workers will emphasize the need for jobs, justice, and freedom. Marchers will gather at the Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall and proceed to the new monument that honors Martin Luther King, Jr., the slain civil rights leader who galvanized marchers in 1963 with his “I Have A Dream” speech.
