National Emergency Mobilization and Wake-Up Call
For America’s Auto Workers

May 19, 2009, Capitol Visitors Center, Washington, D.C.

During this half-day event at the nation’s Capitol, labor and business leaders, members of Congress, local elected officials and everyday workers discussed solutions to how we can revitalize the auto manufacturing industry. A way of life is at stake, with thousands of hard working, middle-class American workers facing an uncertain future.

There are many ways to help Keep It Made in America. To keep up-to-date with the latest news and events follow us on Twitter and Facebook and follow our blog Manufacturing This; email your representatives and senators in Congress; sign our petition.

While our bus tour and teach-in may be over, the work is just beginning. We thank you for your support!
