Today’s economic crisis is much worse than the media lets on … a political and economic system that provides trillions of dollars in bailouts for Wall Street and trillions of dollars for war but nothing for large numbers of workers and the poor, who face growing joblessness, foreclosures, evictions, layoffs, low wages, hunger and homelessness.

Join unemployed people, youth, labor and community activists on Saturday, May 8, the 75th anniversary of the WPA, 12 noon at the new Federal Building, 7th and Mission, San Francisco, to tell the government that today’s jobless crisis is as bad as it was 75 years ago — when the unemployed demanded and won a public jobs program. Bay View publisher Willie Ratcliff is one of the speakers.
