Leafletting and Letter Writing with Straphangers

Please email wiley@transalt.org if you'd like to help out with this.

Help us prevent the biggest transit fare increase and service cuts in NYC history. Transportation Alternatives is launching a major organizing initiative to save straphangers from major fare hikes and service cuts. Teams of T.A. organizers will take to the streets of five neighborhoods on two Saturdays, generating hand-written letters from New Yorkers urging their leaders in Albany to stake swift action.

When:
Training: Tuesday, February 24th, 6:30pm-7:30pm
Events: Saturday, February 28th and March 7th, 11am-4pm

Where:
Brooklyn (Park Slope, Fort Greene, Williamsburg) and Queens (Sunnyside, Jackson Heights)

We need two dozen volunteers to join our organizing teams. Nothing holds more sway with elected officials than a handwritten letter, and we plan to generate more than 1000 in the course of this campaign. Join us for two convivial afternoons.

Start: March 7, 2009 - 10:00am
End: March 7, 2009 - 3:00pm
Location:
