Atlanta 9to5 members have the option of meeting at the office at 9:15 to view 2 short videos, one featuring Dr. King and another featuring Kim Bobo discussing economic justice and wage theft. A very brief discussion reacting to the videos will happen after viewing them. Then members will gather signs and literature to distribute during the march about wage theft and 9to5's Fair Eats Campaign.
