At our meeting on the 19th, we'll also talk about other "activism opportunities" including plans for further efforts to raise awareness about the "true costs" of Walmart, and our work to ensure that Ehrlich's veto of the Fair Share Health Care Act is overturned. Please join us! To RSVP, go to www.dfalink.com/howardcounty (as usual, we'll be serving pizza, so your RSVPs are appreciated to help us estimate how much we need!).
For those of you who already had December 12 (our normal meeting night) "blocked off" on your calendar, we have another suggestion! Please join us at the MD for Healthcare/SEIU offices to do some phone banking in support of the Fair Share Healthcare Act. The vote on the veto override is looking VERY close, and your efforts could truly make the difference! We'll be meeting at 6:30pm for a brief training, and then we'll start making phone calls at 7pm. They have enough phones, so we won't need to use our own cell phones. The office is located at 3700 Koppers Street, in Baltimore/Halethorpe - 21227. It's conveniently located near Route 95, just off of Caton Avenue. For Mapquest directions, go to www.tinyurl.com/9mpps. We'll probably order pizza or some other type of food, so again, RSVPs are much appreciated. Please email me at dpopp@justemail.net or call me at 443-285-1109 for more info or to let me know that you plan to help out that night.
Finally, while we're on the subject of the Fair Share Health Care Act, I urge all of you to plan to take the day off on January 11 (the day the veto override vote is expected to occur) to be part of a major visibility/activism event in Annapolis. This is a chance to really make a difference, and an exciting opportunity to be part of something BIG. Please join us! Let me know via phone or email if you plan to join us, and please be sure to include your t-shirt size. I'll contact everyone with more info including meeting times and parking/carpool info as we get closer to the date. (We're trying to plan this WELL in advance so that people will be able to take the day off from work, make childcare arrangements, etc.)
Thanks, and I hope to see all of you soon!
Dawn
