- AFT Members Rally for Jobs and Justice at King Memorial
One message was clear to the thousands who gathered in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 15, for the March for Jobs and Justice to honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.: His dream is alive and well and still needs to be fulfilled.
"We are in the midst of a major economic crisis.

It's no wonder that people are frustrated," said AFT president Randi Weingarten, one of many featured speakers at the event. "We are giving voice to the thousands of Americans who are saying 'enough is enough.'"
