337. Protests Planned for ALEC Annual Meeting in New Orleans August 5th
http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/119929/protests-planned-for-alec-annual-meeting-in-new-orleans-august-5th/

The protesters will be meeting at Hale Boggs Federal Building on Poydras Street. The organizers are calling on all groups that are regularly attacked by ALEC task forces and state legislation to speak before they march on the Marriott (ALEC meeting base).

Protest ALEC emphasizes:

ALEC is a shining example of the right-wing’s united front of corporate and political forces, and they can only be stopped by the strength of solidarity. We, the working class, are poor, Black, immigrants, LGBTQIA, women, and union members. The only way we can put a stop to the work ALEC is doing is to unite in an independent political movement that not only challenges ALEC and it’s members on the streets but also in the halls of government. We must show them that we can fix the problems we face without breaking the backs of the working class!
