Rally for Social Security in ABQ

From True Majority and NM United to Protect Social Security:
The fight to save Social Security is tilting our way, but it’s far from over. So, here’s another opportunity to have your voice heard on the issue, at a key moment.

On Tuesday, April 26, 2005, our friends at New Mexico United to Protect Social Security is organizing a large rally in Albuquerque to coincide with the Senate Finance Committee's hearing discussing proposals to privatize Social Security in Washington, DC.  In addition to the rally in Albuquerque, rallies will be held in over 30 states and Washington, DC on that day.  By attending the rally we can make it clear to our members of Congress that Social Security privatization is wrong and unacceptable.

Date:  Tuesday, April 26th, 2005 Time: 9:30 AM

(Editor's Note: Folks who attended Democracy for New Mexico's April Meetup will surely remember Santiago Juarez and his passionate speech about Social Security and core progressive values. If you can, please attend this rally and press conference, and let the Bush administration and Heather Wilson know where Albuquerqueans stand on Social Security privatization.)
