March with AFA in the 60th March on Washington
Start: Saturday, September 09, 2023• 9:00 AM
AFA Human Rights would like to invite AFA Flight Attendants to join our mobilization for the 60th Anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. This intersectional collaboration centers the voices of women, young people, the marginalized, and the unheard.
We will gather at AFA-CWA Headquarters at 9:00am for a brief kickoff ceremony. Signs, t-shirts, and breakfast will be provided. Then, we walk as a group to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
This March continues the original March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, carrying the same issues of discrimination and civil rights abuses. Our civil rights are under severe attack! There are mass efforts by some to assert control over us and our voting rights. Violence, intimidation, and attempts to erase our history are political tools that underestimate the power of the people.
Hate crimes, hate speech, and antisemitism against our communities based on race, religion, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, and and disability are at their highest levels. These attacks are perpetuating long-standing systemic injustices, do not have a place in a democracy.
Join us to fight against racism and disinformation and to uphold our collective values of freedom, equality, and justice.
