Ground Zero - Bay Area Housing Crisis

The following event is not sponsored or endorsed by the IWW. It has been posted here because it may be of interest to IWW members.

Despite the prevailing mentality that home foreclosures are the private problem of individual households, the mortgage meltdown has spread to all areas of the economy, and is effecting our vulnerable public education and social services with drastic cuts in funding. Friday the 13th was Pink Friday throughout the state, and in Vallejo alone some 290 teachers district wide, and 50% of teachers at one major high school were given advisory notice of budgetary lay-off. We can be more effective in re-building and re-vitalizing our communities through united collective action, rather than as atomized individuals. Come learn the real history of May Day as a historic event for working people in the United States, and how we can come together along the same lines today to defend and improve our neighborhoods and schools in this time of crisis.

Event Sponsored by the Solano County Peace and Freedom Party
