Rally for Racial, Economic, and Educational Justice

Join the Rally for Racial, Economic, and Educational Justice

Student groups, labor unions, civil rights and community organizations will be joining together in unity to hold a Rally for Racial, Economic, and Educational Justice, at 6pm, Tuesday, April 10th, at the Santa Monica City Hall, at 1685 Main Street, Santa Monica, CA 90402.

Fortunately we live in a community where people have the courage to take a stand. Santa Monica College’s Student Organizing Committee, MEChA, SMC Associate Students. and other student groups are fighting to keep the doors of educational opportunity open. Hotel workers from Santa Monica's UNITE HERE Local 11 are struggling to create new jobs that pay a living wage. In response to persistent patterns of institutionalized racism and rising tensions on SAMOHI’s campus among students of color, the Committee for Racial Justice and the Pico Youth & Family Center have presented solutions to build a society free of racism and disparate treatment. Youth and community leaders from Santa Monica’s Pico Neighborhood are fighting to preserve their culture and community.

Across the nation, communities are standing up to for justice and fairness. Social justice movements are gaining momentum and have the potential to create the public and political pressure to safeguard a brighter future for all. We stand with the 99% movement to restore the promise of equal opportunity for ALL Americans.

Join us in a peaceful demonstration in front of Santa Monica City Hall on Tuesday evening from 6pm, as the Santa Monica City Council is meeting, to speak out, and more importantly, to build a movement that will create the power we need to make our collective dreams a reality. Students, workers and community standing united for racial justice, and economic and educational opportunity, will create a better Santa Monica.
