Message from Prof. McCartin

[Erin Riordan]

Friends, 

I wanted to call to your attention that this weekend we are hosting a conference in ICC Auditorium called In Defense of the Public Square.  It will include union leaders like Mary Kay Henry of the Service Employees International Union and Randi Weingarten of the American Federation of Teachers, public voices such as Rev. William Barber of the Moral Monday movement and E.J. Dionne among others.   They will discuss the urgent importance of defending the public sector against the policies that have been devastating public services and the workers who provide them.  I hope you can make it for at least some of the sessions.  You can find out more information and a place to register (it's free and will come with a free lunch on Sat. if you want one):  http://www.shankerinstitute.org/event/publicsquare
Thanks for spreading the word.

Best,

Joe McCartin
