On Monday, April 4, the anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr., the PeopleUs Weekly WorldUs electronic conference will take up the
struggle to make jobs and equality a basic right in our country. The goal is to
let the Congress and the White House know that we need immediate emergency
action to address the crisis of joblessness and discrimination.
The crisis of capitalism, its structural damage to every city and town and its
racist edge, will be the topic of discussion on a national telephone conference
call panel discussion from 7-8 p.m. EDT, Monday evening. The purpose will be to
exchange experiences on the building of a national movement for a Congressional
bill to enact a massive public works jobs program.
Participants in the discussion will include leaders of a homeless organization
in Connecticut. which is working with a Central Labor Council on public works
legislation; members of a homeless group from Columbus, Ohio; Wolfgang
Alexander, acting chair of the Day Laborers Organizing Committee in Cleveland,
Ohio; Libero Della Piana from Oakland, Calif., who heads up the Jobs for Youth
Campaign initiated by the Young Communist League; Evelina Alarcn, chair of the
Southern California Communist Party and member of the steering committee of the
Coalition for Economic Justice; Tony Monteiro from Philadelphia, chair of the
African American Equality Commission of the CPUSA; a representative of a
