"We Are One, Respect Our Rights"
Nevada labor unions, community partners, students, and parents are joining together to raise public awareness that the Governor's drastic budget cuts will dismantle education. And the Republican Legislators' solution to the budget crisis is an assault on workers.
Join the "We are One, Respect Our Rights" action to demand a reasonable solution to the state budget crisis.
When: Monday, April 4
Time: 4:30 p.m to 6 p.m.
Where: Western Nevada College
2201 W. College Parkway Carson City, NV 89703
Go to here to register for the rally.
