WE BELIEVE: That the decline in American prosperity can and must be reversed.
WE CHALLENGE: Elected officials, the media, and the nation's employers to address this most pressing domestic issue--the decline of opportunity and fair pay for American workers-- with substance, compassion and commitment.
WE PLEDGE: To hold government and business accountable for policies that undermine American workers, to vote our conscience, and to take personal action in the fight for fair labor practices.
WE DECLARE: That Labor Day, 2004, shall be observed as "The Working Poor Picnic," and shall mark the turning point in America's commitment to pride and self-sufficiency for all working people.
We, the undersigned, endorse this proclamation in the spirit of a
stronger, fairer and more prosperous America:
