Jobs Bill NOW!
Extend Unemployment NOW!
Emergency Relief for the 99ers NOW!
Stop Credit Checks for Job Applicants NOW!
The 99ers are unemployed workers who have exhausted their unemployment benefits and are still unable to find work. Many are people who spent a lifetime building careers, paying taxes and building the American Dream. They face rampant age discrimination when seeking work in their fields and are rejected as “over-qualified” for menial jobs. 99ers were excluded from the recent unemployment extension bill, left destitute and forced into poverty by their own government. There are currently between 1.4 and 4 million 99ers, with up to 50,000 joining this devastated group every week.
The 99ers are the living example of the need for a comprehensive Jobs Bill Now. With five applicants for every job and unemployment expected to rise over the next year, anyone can be laid off and eventually exhaust their benefits. Congress must Extend Unemployment Benefits Now to meet the basic needs of the current 15 million unemployed and their growing ranks. 99ers have lost homes, cars, and valued possessions. They have gone through their savings and their credit is ruined. For some, suicide becomes a viable alternative. We must have Emergency Relief for the 99ers Now and to ensure the unemployed remain viable job applicants, Congress must Stop Credit Checks for Job Applicants Now.
Please join us as we fight for justice for ALL unemployed.
