First Roundtable: A People's Perspective on the Economic Crisis, Pt. 2

What's one thing to take back into our comminties -


Janice "Jay" Johnson - Get on the train and make sure we have comprehensive health care plans. Most people talk about creating jobs as a "top - down" thing. We can go to our communities and see what jobs

Rev. Dr. Kevin Turman - Stop prioritizing banks. Invest in neighborhood health services, greener energy policies means there can be more jobs in the city. Investing in people bmeans seeing them as more than "laborers."
We assume government will hear us and do for us. We need to continue town hall meeting and bring more officials to those meetings to make sure they hear us and hold them accountable.

Arlene Holt Baker - Make sure people are allowed to freely form unions without employer interferenece.

Rep. John Sarbanes - Keep doing what you're doing to get here today. He also gave a shout out to BRIDGE (Baltimore Regional I) "Identify and maximize the impact you can have on 'your universe.' Your universe is just as important as Barack Obama's universe."
