We are at an important juncture in the WBAI LSB election process. The ballots have been mailed and are due back by September 30th. We need your help in getting the word out regarding the Justice and Unity slate. We are having an important "Report to the Listener" on Thursday, Sept. 2 featuring a film of Tim Wise and live speakers (details pasted below.)
Please help us to circulate this and our other materials. We don't have nearly as much money as our opposition and that puts us at a distinct disadvantage. Therefore, we have to rely on you. In the tradition of a true grassroots effort, we also want you to help spread the word, so please tell your friends. Please send copies of our material to your listservs.
Thank you very much for your support.
"Stay Strong and Pay Close Attention"
