[Platform] [Platform-abwg] REMINDER: ABWG Telecon - TONIGHT!

Re: predatory lending.

As you know, the Rainbow Coalition Caucus has taken the lead on this
issue. At its Saturday meeting, it was decided we did not have the
resources to do both an advisory question and the serious organizing
needed for a June 18 lobby day on Beacon Hill and for further
activation of volunteers for contacting their legislators and for
developing ordinances/resolutions in other cities and towns similar to
what Chuck has achieved in Boston -- especially given the timeframe
for collecting sigs for the advisory question.

So John's conclusion below is accurate.

Thanks much for your good work,
Merelice
