On Friday, August 21 the Ohio AFL-CIO will sponsor a rally to "Defend the American Dream".  The workers' rally is being held to protest the national summit of Amercians for Prosperity.  The summit includes such conference subjects as right-to-work and other anti-worker causes.  One of the main supporters of Americans for Prosperity are the Koch Brothers.

Rally participants are asked to meet between 9:00-9:45 AM at the McFerson Commons across the street from Nationwide Arena.  A march to the Columbus Convention Center will begin at 10:00 AM and the rally will conclude by 12:00 PM.

It is expected that several high-profile presidential candidates and other 2016 office seekers (including Rob Portman) will speak at the Summit.

The Ohio AFL-CIO is sponsoring buses from most major Ohio cities including Cleveland, Toledo, Akron, Canton, Youngstown, Cincinnati, Steubenville, Chillicothe and others.  Check with your local AFL-CIO for more information.

We need your presence and voice at this Workers' Rally.  What affects one worker affects all.  Show up and support organized labor and rally for good American jobs!!!!
