– The Sunrise Baltimore Hub is calling on you to attend on Wed.,
April 7 from 11:30 to 12:30 PM an In-Person Rally for Good Jobs For All at S.
Charles St. and Pratt St., outside of Senator Ben Cardin's Baltimore office
(100 S Charles St.) to address our elected officials’ failure to address the
intersecting crises we face today. With
so much work that needs to be done to address the pandemic and climate change, there’s
no reason anyone in the U.S. should be unemployed, underemployed, or
working a job that isn’t working toward a better future. It’s time to guarantee
good jobs for all! Sunrise Movement is
calling on every member of Congress to sign the Good Jobs for All Pledge and
commit to doing everything they can to ensure that the U.S. government
guarantees every American (who wants one) a job building a sustainable,
people-centered economy.
Senator Cardin has declined to sign the Pledge, showing that he thinks business-as-usual is working just fine for his constituents. So Sunrise Baltimore will participate in a National Day of Action by rallying outside of Senator Cardin's office for a socially-distanced rally demanding that he commit to providing GOOD JOBS FOR ALL.
