[Northampton-GP] Anti-Poverty March

[Susan Lantz]

Hi everyone,
I spoke with Jo Comerford about the march.  She wants AFSC to be part of 
this and will send a Board member to our meeting as she is not available 
herself.  Jo suggests we include the following and I've assigned callers 
to them. Hopefully we will contact our groups this week and get a sense 
of when they can meet on those three evenings (Jan 20,21, 22).  Great 
idea on Habitat for Humanity, Jackie and welcome aboard to them.  Which 
evenings are good for them to meet?

Other Groups for consideration:
Meadowbrook Coalition----Tom
Emma Morgan 585-5808

Casa Latina--    Susan

UAW--    Jim  (perhaps ask if we can meet there)
2232 KIng St
James Shaw, President

Yaju--    Susan
575-5141

Northampton Survival Center--    Jon

Grove St Shelter--    Jackie

Bill of Rights Defense Com--    Susan
241 King St ste 216
582-0110

Save Our Schools--Tom
Jim Levey--586-4012  (home number)
Jim apparently knows all about the schools and would know appropriate 
group(s) to contact.

Center for New Americans---Jon
587-0084
Not sure how political they are.
Maybe not a fit.

VA..    Jackie
Florence, MA 584-8006
runs a homeless shelter...?

Besides sending contact info to Lisa for our Religious groups, we should 
contact them for our group as we'll need help for food and shelter for 
marchers. Do any of you have affiliation with First Churches, Edwards 
Church, and I will do the Unitarian Society.
This is a great opportunity for these groups and us to bring awareness. 
 LEt's get them reved up....!
Report back quickly....
Susan
