While the country teeters on the brink of recession, Rhode Island is already in economic crisis. RI's anti-worker, anti-immigrant governor is making this crisis worse by trying to balance the state's financial troubles on the backs of working families by cutting programs, cutting pensions, promoting massive layoffs and attacking immigrants. National Jobs with Justice conference participants joined RI Jobs with Justice and allies in holding the line in Rhode Island! They told Governor Carcieri that we won't stand for balancing the budget on the backs of RI's working class. We stood up for a vision of the future that protects and promotes the dignity of all residents and honors and respects hard work. We will demand tax and budget reform, funding for the programs and staffing that make RI work for workers, and immigrant justice!
