Dallas unionists and other progressives will gather at brokerage firm Charles Schwab at 11:45 AM on Thursday, March 31, to ask them to stop financing the publicity campaign to privatize Social Security. A brief picket will be held on the public sidewalk in the 7600 block of Northwest Highway. It is just below the NorthPark shopping center on Central Expressway in the tall Brierley building. There is a well-partronized Barnes and Noble bookstore in the strip mall there.

March 31 is the National Day of Action for Retirement Security to convince Charles Schwab and other financial firms to drop their support for privatizing Social Security and pull out of pro-privatization lobbying groups. In demonstrations across the country, we’re telling Charles Schwab and others: Don’t Pick Our Pockets to Line Yours!

Privatizing Social Security would devastate working families—slashing guaranteed benefits, exploding the federal debt, opening Social Security up to political corruption and making retirement less rather than more secure for all of us. But such Wall Street companies as Charles Schwab could reap billions in fees for managing privatized Social Security accounts.

Join us March 31 to tell Charles Schwab to BACK OFF our retirement security and DROP OUT of the lobbying groups backing Social Security privatization.

And if you can't make the protest:
Unable to attend? Here’s how you can participate:

If you are unable to attend the event, you still can show your support. Please take a few minutes to call Charles Schwab at the Schwab company at 1-866-855-9102.

If you need to leave a message, tell Mr. Schwab you are concerned about his role in pushing private accounts on the American public and your retirement security is more important to you than his company’s profits.
