DOING SOMETHING
Today in Chicago:
Watch National Nurses United and Tom Morello
in a Rally to Heal America and Tax Wall Street
"We're working on the global scene, and the opportunities to actually have one
world and one people in a way for the first time that I've seen in my life. The
financial transaction tax is seen by all of our allies internationally as a way of
addressing the economy of the world. And that's why it's not the financial
transaction tax in and of itself, it's the reconceptualization of what we
should be as a society of people." – NNU Executive Director Rose DeMoro
UPDATES: #RHT | @NationalNursesUnited | @TMorello
