Charleston, WV (HNN) – Amid a worsening economic recession that has left nearly 2 million Americans without jobs and more than 2.5 million more without homes this year, West Virginians’ United for Economic and Social Justice will host WV Jobs & Economic Recovery Roundtable Friday, Dec. 19, 2008 in support of the new national campaign effort urging all West Virginia’s congressional representatives to support President-Elect Barack Obama’s plan to create millions of jobs through smart public investments that will also ensure a stronger future for the American economy.
The conference will be held at 10:30 a.m. in the AFL-CIO office, Third floor, 501 Leon Sullivan Way, Charleston.
Participants include: WHO: Kenny Perdue, President of WV-AFL-CIO; Sam Hickman, WV-NASW; Rick Wilson, AFSC Economic Justice Project; Evelyn Dortch, Direct Action Welfare Group; Gary Zuckett, WV-Citizen Action Group; local WV Delegates & Senators (invited)
Addressing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, President-Elect Obama, during his December 6th radio address, outlined a plan that will create or save at least two and a half million jobs by making major and sound long-term investments in energy conservation, renewable energy technologies, schools, healthcare and transportation, including the single largest investment in U.S. national infrastructure since the creation of the federal highway system in the 1950s. The plan includes careful, targeted spending with strong “use it or lose it” accountability measures. Following 8 years of misguided economic policies that gave priority to tax breaks for multimillionaires and big corporations, the Obama plan will get America’s disappearing middle-class working again.
