There were rallies in support of low-wage workers in Kansas City and 200 other cities today!!!! [View all]
There was an estimate of 2000 people marching along KC's Main Street and around the University of Missouri KC Campus. I saw signs supporting fast-food workers, home care workers, adjunct faculty and janitors. The rally speakers included KC's mayor and representatives from faith communities.
There were earlier rallies and protests at fast food outlets around the city:
I'm proud to say I was at the rally and the march. My feet are sore, and I know I'll be really sore and stiff tomorrow morning; but, I'm really glad I was there.
Please post pictures from marches in your city!
