Mark Gilliland, wearing a Chuckie horror mask and impersonating Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, gives a speech on stage at the Rally for Good Jobs, Living Wages, and Public Education held in Miller Park.

Local Chattanooga community activists gathered in Miller Park on Saturday for a rally calling for good jobs that pay living wages and better funded public education.  The official goals of the rally were to help fight against corporate money that they say has been flooding local and national government and dictating policy designed to help the wealthiest Americans and place a greater burden upon working class citizens.  Among the groups represented were Chattanooga Organized for Action, the Chattanooga Area Labor Council, Occupy Chattanooga, United Campus Workers, the Progressive Student Alliance, and various local labor unions.
