Walmart Free Rally today

Today at 5:30pm there is a Rally to keep Walmart out of Newark on the steps of City Hall before the Newark Planning Board Meeting inside.

Here's the note from the organizers:
"Stand with us and our progressive community allies as we unite to make our voices heard on the Springfield Avenue Market Place Development Project.

Originally, this project was proposed as including a local supermarket for the community, but now we hear it is going to be a Walmart.

Walmart the world's richest retailer has a track record of destroying local business, paying low wages, putting workers, and communities at risk. This project should uplift our community and our city- not hurt it. We want development that provides good jobs, supports local business, and enhances the vibrancy of our community. LET'S STAND TOGETHER AND MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD!"
