Davis Calls for Economic Justice for America's Unemployed

Congressman Danny K. Davis (D-IL07) will be joined by his invited guest Wessita McKinley, worker since the age of 12, veteran, single mother and now laid off worker unable to find a job despite tireless effort, and being forced to make the impossible decision of whether to pay for her daughter's college education or pay for basic necessities such as rent, food and utilities today in a press conference demanding the extension of unemployment insurance for 1.3 million American's just like Ms. McKinley.

Davis stated, "It is unconscionable and inconceivable that we, the richest nation in the world and in history, should turn our backs on masses of Americans who though no fault of their own now stand outcast and abandoned. Congress should vote and pass this extension without any further delay."
