SHARE THIS LETTER TO PROMOTE OCCUPY THE DOE IN DC: MARCH 30 – APRIL 2


Members,

Thank you for your participation. As we’ve exited the New Year and are
approaching our Occupy the DOE event on March 30th, I am attaching for you a
quick letter I drafted today. In your limited spare time, I ask that you
send it to any education official, union, teacher group, book club,
community organization, student group, any organization you think would be
interested. That way, we can increase our participation and outreach for
this unprecedented event.

It has been a pleasure reading and responding to your various comments and
concerns on the Facebook site and elsewhere. However, there comes a time
when further action is necessary to make a real difference, and that time is
now. On behalf of the group, I implore you all to copy the attached letter
to an email and simply click send to anyone or any group that comes to mind.
Do not censor, no connection is not worthy. We wish to broaden our message
as much as possible.

Also attached is a flyer for the event, expertly designed by Jay Rivett from Occupy ART: Indiana. Thank you for your participation and support.
Feel free to contact myself or any admin of opt out with questions or
concerns. Take it away!
