Everyone Acting Together in Solidarity

Everyone Acting Together in Solidarity Promoting healthy communities through mutual aid. Greetings and Solidarity,

Johnson City's second annual Free to You BBQ is coming up this September!

Last year, we provided free food and music to around 350 people, and we would like to invite you and your organization to participate in this community event as we expand on last year's success. We aim to promote community organizing and mutual aid, and to bring attention to the issues that face the people of Appalachia. We are organizing this year's BBQ under the coalition banner of E.A.T.S. (Eve

ryone Acting Together in Solidarity). Anyone who is in solidarity with our basic aims is invited to participate in planning and to attend the BBQ. We recognize your organization's commitment to social, economic, and/or environmental justice, and we hope to promote your organization's aims by offering a space for tabling, organizing, education, and discussion. The event should provide a public forum for a broad range of causes. Our main focus for the event is simple: feeding people. Helping our community by eliminating hunger, was and is our original purpose. We also believe that having strong, healthy communities means promoting a healthy environment, working to end racism and other forms of prejudice, and ensuring that basic human needs are met. One basic thing that many people need is a decent job with a living wage. This year, we have chosen to highlight the growing movement of low-wage workers for a living wage. Whether it be the call to organize the corporate giants of the fast food and retail industries or on our college campuses, we support the living wage as a step toward ending hunger and a way to build respect and dignity in our communities. Where: Old Kiwanis Park (off Market St)
When: Sept. 14th
Time: 1-5 pm

Please join us! Together we can build community bonds, strengthen democracy, and feed our neighbors while connecting with local residents and allies. For those interested in community building and want to volunteer help to help promote the BBQ or are looking to donate please message us via this page. Best regards,

on behalf of E.A.T.S!

Hey Folks,

Please help defend jobs and stop the biggest outsourcing sell-off in Tennessee history. The public comment period on Governor Haslam's scheme is open for five more days - until Tuesday.

No one comes right out and says, "I want to take kind of decent jobs and make them crappier so that me and other already-rich people can cash in," but that would be the honest thing to say.

We don't need any more race to the bottom. Please let our billionaire governor know how you feel. This link from United Campus Workers redirects to the public comment page: www.ucw-cwa.org/public-comment

Share widely! We have until December 20 for public comment. If you have questions or want to know about other actions coming up, let me know.

Also, although the public comment is the most important thing right now, if you're feeling it, here is the governor's number: 615-741-2001.

(Dennis)

Only 5 days left.
Submit your comments to the administration's official public comment period, today: ucw-cwa.org/public-comment

In the spirit of trying to keep folks informed of local Bernie events, we will be having a tabling and bake sale at this coming Saturday's Johnson City Christmas Parade, in front of the Acoustic Coffeehouse. We plan to set up at 1pm and will have Bernie literature and yummy goodies for sale for parade goers. Get your food at the Food Truck event just down the street, then come get your dessert and Bernie info at our sidewalk event before you watch the parade! If you want to contribute baked goods or can spare some time to help us tell folks about the awesomeness of Senator Sanders, come on out! Hope to see YOU there!
