Organizing for America – Philadelphia Center City East

Congress is going back to DC after the August recess – let’s show them we want real health care reform with the public option this year! Here’s what’s happening in Center City/Old City in the next week. Events in other parts of the city are listed at http://my.barackobama.com

Wednesday. Sept. 2, 5-8pm
Health Care Phone Bank
Philadelphia Unemployment Project
112 North Broad St. (just above Arch)

RSVP:  http://bit.ly/MG4FA

Get on the phones to help rouse our volunteers for the final push in the health care reform campaign! We’ll be calling volunteers from the 2008 campaign to ask them to get involved in this important movement to get real reform passed this year. We can’t do this without your help!

Afterwards, we can go join the MoveOn vigil at Love Park, to honor Senator Kennedy and rally for health care reform

Talk to West Philly neighbors about healthcare reform and collect signatures in support of the public option. This is a fabulous family festival, with lots of live entertainment, karaoke, line dancing, and good food.

Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 7, 9am-3pm
Labor Day Parade and Family Festival
Delaware Ave. and Penns Landing

What better way to celebrate Labor Day than to promote health care reform? Join with our friends from labor for some family fun, collect signatures in support of health care reform, and know that you are making a difference. Join in the parade starting at 9:30, or come to the Great Plaza 11am-3pm and look for people with clipboards and Organizing for America signs. Here’s a link about the festivities:

Sign up for one shift or stay all day! Help collect signatures, or just enjoy good company and food! Hope to see you there. But if you’re down the shore, bring us back some saltwater taffy.
