Hundreds of residents from struggling LA communities will join Congress members Maxine Waters, Laura Richardson and Karen Bass to take on the issues facing them at their kitchen tables – depression-level unemployment, bankruptcies, foreclosures and cuts to public services – and to call for urgent job creating legislation.

The debate in Washington is focused on budget cuts and protecting tax breaks for profitable corporations and the rich, but struggling communities in Los Angeles continue to feel the devastating effects of an on-going recession. At the same time, Wall Street corporations are making a bad situation worse by sitting on $2 trillion in cash and cutting jobs to further increase profits. Instead of balancing budgets on the backs of working families, we need a legislative agenda that makes corporations and the rich contribute their fair share to the economic recovery, invests in the communities hit hardest by the recession, and creates good jobs.
