A coalition of labor and government reform groups is organizing a Greater Hartford “Celebration of Unity, Equality and Democracy” on Saturday, January 16th at Bloomfield’s Bethel AME Church to mark the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s national holiday.

The January 16th event, slated for 10 a.m., will focus on citizen responses to “the shrinking middle class”, income inequality, public service cuts and Black and Latino unemployment.

New Britain Democrats will participate in the event and the Democratic Town Committee is organizing transportation for January 16th.  Members and friends may contact DTC Member Bill Shortell for more information 860-833-6123   or e-mail newbritaindemocrat@gmail.com
