Why
Blacks And Latinos Must Struggle Together? Open Discussion
Greetings,
On
behalf of Immigrant Workers Union, I
would like to invite
you to our open discussion which will be held at Vera Court
Neighborhood
Center.
The open
discussion is this
coming Wednesday April 15th
at 7pm.
One
of our goals
is to promote dialogue among the Black and Latino
Community in order to understand that we share similar struggles. Some
of the topics that we would like to address
are universal health care, working to
earn a decent living wage, increase funding in Section 8, a living wage
for W-2
workers, real funding for public schools, and making it known to our
local
politicians that we are against the increase in bus fares.
These
are just a few topics that will be
discussed.
 Now
is the time to take action and play a more active role
in our community. We have to take a stand and let our local and
national
politicians know that we want justice and equality.
The
only way to achieve these goals is to come
together and put an end to the system which is trying to divide us.
Please
feel free to contact us if you have any questions
at
www.maydayinmadison.org
or
1-866-476-0884.
Thank
you very much and we will be looking forward to your
participation on April 15th
at 7pm.
Sincerely,
Clarissa
