Thanks to Jack Sanders for minutes of the March meeting and the HKonJ Action draft.

 

If you have items for the HKonJ OC calendar, send them to me, tfe...@gmail.com, with HKonJ OC Calendar in the subject line.

 

HKonJ OC web site in progress. Please send me corrections and suggestions. If your Partners page listing does not yet link to your web site, please send me the URL.

 

Calendar alerts follow. The OCOC action on April 15 is an opportunity to unite in action with other folks who love justice. Several of our HKonJ partners are also members of OCOC.

Living Wage Policy for Town of Chapel Hill Employees

Chapel Hill Town Hall, 405 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.

The Orange County Organizing Committee encourages us to join them in once more asking the Chapel Hill Town Council to include a living wage policy in its budget. This action is one way for us to respond the message not to balance budgets on the backs of the poor. For a summary of OCOC's research, their proposal for change, and their call to action see OCOC Action Alert: Living Wage Policy for Town of Chapel Hill Employees.
