Republicans on Wrong Side of African American Jobs Crisis #default

Working families are fed up with right-wing politicians and their reckless budget cuts at a time millions of Americans are out of work, writes SEIU Healthcare Chair Dr. L. Toni Lewis in the Black Voice News. The jobs crisis has been especially devastating to the African American community where the unemployment rate hovers around 16 percent.

Dr. Lewis writes:

"It is clear: Republicans are on the wrong side of the jobs crisis and on the wrong side of the American Dream. As members of Congress head back to their districts for August recess, working families, including African American, should hold them accountable for failing to create jobs. This August recess, it's time to tell politicians to reset their priorities and fix the jobs crisis."
