Together, We Can Move Mountains - Organize, Organize, Organize

We are on a long journey. Let us commit tonight to grow the unity of our diverse city and make the necessary changes to ensure that all are treated fairly, all are respected, and that everything is transparent. You, your neighbors, and people like you from all over the city are the key. When people learn for themselves the real truth of issues and get actively involved thats democracy. So, do the work of informing and uniting people in your school/university, church/synagogue/mosque, organizations, and neighborhood. Organize, Organize, Organize and register people everywhere to vote. Let us come back together on June 13th with the people you have organized. Together, We Can Move Mountains! Be sure to fill out a contact card and leave it so that we can be in touch. Thank you.
