At Bank of America, their role in the 2008 financial crises and ensuing rampant foreclures were highlighted. At the Arch grounds, nearby bridges that need repairs were pointed out as a way to put millions of Americans back to work - by public works projects repairing our public structures.

Missouri Jobs with Justice and allies joined Occupy St. Louis for a "We Are One - We Are the 99%" Rally and March downtown this past Friday, October 14.  Four hundred rallied in Kiener Plaza, and a thousand strong marched to the Bank of America, then to the Arch grounds, and back to Kiener Plaza.

Fourteen protesters were arrested for civil disobedience at the MLK bridge. Among them were Richard Von Glahn, St. Louis JwJ Organizing Committee Co-Chair and Shannon Duffy, St. Louis JwJ Labor Co-Chair.

The rally then turned into a huge march, leaving Kiener Plaza (Freedom Square) onto Market street, then north onto Broadway to the Martin Luther King bridge. The marchers took up an entire lane of traffic; the police department facilitated the marchers and led them to the MLK bridge.

We are here to let Wall Street and Market Street and Main Street and every other street know that we are not going away until justice comes…We want a jobs bill. We want accountability from Wall Street…We want fair and equitable tax reform.

Pastor Albert said, in part (from the St. Louis Beacon):

Over 20 different union locals, community groups and churchs were represented at the event. MO JwJ faith leader The Rev Mary Albert MC’ed the Rally portion.

Thursday, November 17, Missouri Jobs with Justice, community groups, local area unions and Occupy St. Louis particpated in an international "Day of Action". In cities across the US, concerned citizens marched to crumbling bridges to send a message to Congress: Repair our bridges and roads - create JOBS, not CUTS.
