{PBJFlorida} Fwd: Join the RESULTS National Conference Call with Barbara Ehrenreich This Saturday at 12:30 pm ET

From our friends at RESULTS:

Join Author Barbara Ehrenreich this Saturday, November 10th to Learn How You Can Make a Difference for Low-Income Families
 
Now that the election is over, Congress has a lot of work to get done before the end of the year. Your advocacy will be critical to protect low-income working families around the country. Without a strong voice urging Congress to preserve vital services like the Earned Income Tax Credit, the Child Tax Credit and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly Food Stamps), they could disappear for millions of struggling families.

To build support for this effort, RESULTS is hosting a national outreach event with renowned author and activist  Barbara Ehrenreich THIS Saturday, November 10, at 12:30 pm ET. Ms. Ehrenreich has written extensively about low-income families in America. In her book Nickel and Dimed, Ehrenreich spent time working in low-wage jobs to investigate what life was like for the working poor. Currently, she is a regular columnist with The Progressive and has also written for Time Magazine, The New York Times, Mother Jones, The Atlantic Monthly, Ms, New Republic, Z Magazine, In These Times, Salon.com, and other publications.

This will be an informative and inspiring call — we invite you to join us. RSVP online at: http://www.results.org/events/national_outreach_event_with_barbara_ehrenreich/ or contact Jos Linn at jlinn@results.org or (515) 288-3622 to get connected to the call with other advocates in your area or to get support to host your own event.
