HURRICANE SANDY NEEDS A PEOPLES RESPONSE

BUILD the MOVEMENT for PEOPLE’S POWER ASSEMBLIES!

Occupy Sandy and the massive grassroots relief effort show that we, the people, can take matters into our own hands

Join organizers on the one-month anniversary of the storm to strategize & develop a People’s Power Assembly Movement

Thursday, November 29 @ 6:30pm
Solidarity Center
55 W 17th St. #5C, Manhattan

Climate Change? Social Change!

Governor Cuomo has requested $30 billion for Hurricane Sandy relief. Where will this money go? Will it go to build or repair affordable housing for the people of the Rockaways? Will it go to help rebuild damaged or ruined homes of the working class in Staten Island? Will it go to the tens of thousands in New York and New Jersey who lost wages the week of the storm? No, it will not – at least not without a fight.

This $30 billion is money stolen from the people of this country. And the money that is allocated for Hurricane Sandy will probably be used as another excuse to carry out more drastic cuts in social services than those already proposed to automatically take place early next year at the federal level – which will have a disastrous effect on every town, city and state already hit by the storm.

We have been organizers for decades – or some of us just for months – in building a people’s power movement in one way or another. We all believe that only by organizing an independent people’s movement can we bring real change. Only a militant people’s movement can address the dire needs brought on by the climate crisis.

We invite you to help us take this movement to another level.

Join us in a discussion Nov. 29 on how to build a movement that will put real fear in the minds of the 1%.

In struggle for a better world,

FOLLOWING THE PPA MEETING:

Come to a VICTORY party for the Hot & Crusty workers!

After 55 days on the picket line, the immigrant workers at Hot & Crusty have won a great victory for themselves and all workers. Through their courage and struggle they’ve won raises, vacation and sick pay, the right to file grievances and a hiring hall that’s a precedent for the entire industry.

The Laundry Workers Center, which led this lockout, wants to organize and win justice for more low-paid workers. Help them launch these struggles by coming to a victory party.

A NATIONAL CALL

To Create — Build & Multiply People’s Power Assemblies

Things are already bad — and they are about to get a lot worse!

The people must prepare to defend ourselves against the life-threatening and ever-intensifying economic and social misery that Wall Street and its politicians are imposing on us, including endless war.
