War on Unemployment

Contact your Senator and urge them to co-sponsor the Urban Jobs Act of 2011 (S. 922) - Letter of Support, formally introduced in the United States Senate by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY). As an ongoing effort to address the rising rate of unemployment in urban communities (it now stands at 16.2% among African Americans and African American Youth unemployment has risen to 40.7%), the National Urban League has declared a “War on Unemployment”. In addition to developing the Jobs Rebuild America Plan, we are supporting theUrban Jobs Act of 2011 (S. 922).
