On April 25th nearly 2,000 came together to fight for good jobs and strong communities for all at the “Let’s Get to Work” march and rally. Students, union and non-union workers, unemployed residents, clergy, Church Street South families, retirees and many others marched from the New Haven green to the Yale medical school in support of a Jobs Pipeline, opportunities for youth, and an end to violence in New Haven.
