Across the country, working people are coming together and standing strong to protect our fundamental rights, to fight for our middle class and to demand good jobs!

On March 26th, a massive march and rally on behalf of worker rights, with leaders of national labor organizations, supporters from all over the country, and Los Angeles labor, community and religious leaders, workers, students and community members will be held in Los Angeles.

All over the world, people have been making their voices heard demanding change. Now it’s our turn!
Grammy award winning latin rock and hip hop band, Ozomatli, to show solidarity and take part in Americans’ fight for good jobs at Pershing Square on March 26!

Winner of three Grammy awards and two Billboard Latin awards, Ozomatli is dedicated to addressing social justice issues—a hallmark of Ozomatli’s work ever since the band formed in 1995 as part of labor protests in Los Angeles. “I’ve always felt that music is the key to every culture, the beginning of an understanding,” says vocalist and trumpet player Asdru Sierra. “It’s a language far more universal than politics.”







"When I was in Wisconsin, I took a shift in the Capitol helping to feed the protestors free pizza. People would come and take exactly what they needed. Nobody was greedy. It was just one example of how everyone was fighting for something bigger than themselves.

"Just because we live halfway across the country, doesn’t mean what’s happening in Wisconsin can't happen here.

"I will be marching on March 26 because I'd rather be involved than have my rights stripped away."

-- Mercedes Gaitan, Senior Office Assistant at Los Angeles Trade Tech College, AFT 1521A
