COME ON DOWN: We Need a Big Crowd on the Civic Plaza Today

RALLY TO SUPPORT ALBUQUERQUE LIVING WAGE

CIVIC PLAZA 4:00 - 5:00 PM TODAY!

JOIN SENATOR JOHN EDWARDS & ATTORNEY GENERAL PATRICIA MADRID

BRING YOUR SIGNED PETITIONS TO GET THE LIVING WAGE ISSUE ON THE BALLOT

SENATOR EDWARDS WILL LEAD THE WAY TO THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE TO TURN IN THE SIGNATURES

Please get the word out to as many of our sisters and brothers as possible--unions and progressive organizations need to drive the huge turnout for the living wage rally with Senator John Edwards and Attorney General Patsy Madrid on Civic Plaza on Tuesday, June 28 at 4 PM.

There's going to be lots of media there, so a big turnout will produce lots of great publicity and hopefully put the petition drive over the top.  The event should be over by 5, but you'll still get to see Sen. Edwards if you're there at 4:30 or so (so for those of you who get out of work at 4:00, please still come by Civic Plaza).

REMINDER: there is a fundraiser for the living wage campaign at Sen. Dede Feldman's house afterwards.  If any unions or progressive organizations can help chip in, it will make a world of difference to the success of the campaign.  Plus any union or other organization contributing $1,000 can bring a member (or staff or elected leader) to the small, private reception just before the larger fundraiser, plus three other people to the fundraiser.  General admission to the fundraiser is $250, which is tough for many of us individually, but hopefully some of our organizations will be able to send a representative to the fundraiser at that amount as well.  And of course, if it IS doable for any individuals, please don't feel that this is limited to organizations!

If you have any questions about either the rally or fundraiser, please feel free to call Carter Bundy of AFSCME at any time at 463-8499.
