But even the offer of a job gets it wrong. Shirley Sherrod is a freedom fighter. She's not looking for a job, she cares about justice. http://www.stylemagazine.com/2010/07/time-to-march/ http://www.stylemagazine.com/2010/07/time-to-march/#comments Wed, 14 Jul 2010 19:17:25 +0000 Jesse Jackson http://www.stylemagazine.com/?p=23405 http://www.stylemagazine.com/2010/07/time-to-march/feed/ 0 On Aug. 28, citizens will gather from across the country in Detroit to march for jobs and justice. The United Auto Workers, the Rainbow Coalition and dozens of other organizations will help sponsor the march. Bob King, the newly elected UAW president, describes its purpose: "We need to make our voices heard. We have millions unemployed, families losing their homes, teachers being laid off." http://www.stylemagazine.com/2010/07/afghanistan-we-have-the-watches-they-have-the-time/ http://www.stylemagazine.com/2010/07/afghanistan-we-have-the-watches-they-have-the-time/#comments Thu, 08 Jul 2010 15:16:39 +0000 Jesse Jackson http://www.stylemagazine.com/?p=22992 http://www.stylemagazine.com/2010/07/afghanistan-we-have-the-watches-they-have-the-time/feed/ 0 Last week, the House passed emergency funding of another $37 billion for the war in Afghanistan. At the same time, Congress failed to extend unemployment insurance benefits that have already expired for more than a million Americans who have been unable to find work. http://www.stylemagazine.com/2010/07/born-again-america/ http://www.stylemagazine.com/2010/07/born-again-america/#comments Thu, 01 Jul 2010 15:12:24 +0000 Jesse Jackson http://www.stylemagazine.com/?p=22387 http://www.stylemagazine.com/2010/07/born-again-america/feed/ 0 More than 20 million Americans are unemployed. Nearly half of them have been unemployed for more than six months. Families are losing their homes. And the Senate of the United States-- faced with a Republican filibuster -- has refused to pass an extension of unemployment insurance for those who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own. http://www.stylemagazine.com/2010/06/urban-abandonment/ http://www.stylemagazine.com/2010/06/urban-abandonment/#comments Thu, 24 Jun 2010 15:41:40 +0000 Jesse Jackson http://www.stylemagazine.com/?p=22126 http://www.stylemagazine.com/2010/06/urban-abandonment/feed/ 0 America's cities are in trouble -- and desperately needed help may not be on the way. Will America's cities turn into cauldrons of poverty, desperation and fear? Or will we revive our cities and rebuild the broad middle class in the process? http://www.stylemagazine.com/2010/06/americas-values-a-moral-choice/ http://www.stylemagazine.com/2010/06/americas-values-a-moral-choice/#comments Thu, 17 Jun 2010 15:52:24 +0000 Jesse Jackson http://www.stylemagazine.com/?p=21632 http://www.stylemagazine.com/2010/06/americas-values-a-moral-choice/feed/ 0 President Obama this weekend called on the Congress to pass a $50 billion bill in aid to states that will help forestall the layoff of 300,000 teachers, police, firefighters and more. Despite this, the prospects for the legislation are not great. Deficit hawks seem to rule the roost these days on Capitol Hill.
