Register: www.mlkday2011.eventbrite.com
When: January 17, 2011
9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Where: Capitol Theater
206 5th Ave SE
Olympia, WA 98012
Event Details: On January 17th, 2011, hundreds of people will rally at the State Capitol in Olympia to demand a change. The current economic crisis has led to job loss, home foreclosures, and cuts to education, health care, child care, and other basic services. People of color and low-income people are most affected by this crisis. It’s time for us to act.
The People’s Summit is an opportunity for people to speak truth to power. Even as the state is cutting funding for schools and teachers, health care for children and adults, child care, and other programs, corporations still receive billions in tax subsidies and exemptions. It is time to stand together and demand that our state put people’s welfare first.
The People’s Summit includes a march and rally on the Capitol steps. It also includes skill building workshops, a chance to meet with your lawmakers, and networking with people from around the state. It’s a full day of activities designed to ensure that racial and economic justice is a priority for our state.
Join Us! www.mlkday2011.eventbrite.com for a day of friends, fun, advocacy, learning, and empowerment. Lunch will be provided and transportation, translation, and daycare is available free of charge if needed.
