Dear Friends,
I just wanted to send one more reminder that Congressman John Lewis and I are teaming up to host a jobs fair and readiness workshop on Thursday, Aug. 18 at Atlanta Technical College from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. We are working to have more than 100 private and public employers on hand.
 Everyone is welcome. For more, go to my Web site: WWW.HANKJOHNSON.HOUSE.GOV. To pre-register, click HERE.
As part of the Congressional Black Caucus’ (CBC) “For the People” Jobs Initiative, Congressman Lewis and I – and the entire CBC – are encouraging Congress to pass critical jobs legislation that we have introduced to address the unemployment crisis.
After the jobs fair, there will be a town hall from 6 to 8 p.m. to discuss the CBC’s Jobs Initiative and our jobs-focused legislative agenda.
