Forwarded from Weimin Tchen:

Feeling frustrated with the election of Scott Brown with the support
of 49% of union households - which was probably driven by the
Democratic plan to tax high-benefit union plans instead of taxing the
wealthy?  Disappointed in how the Obama administration caters to the
banking and health-care industries, and so fails to raise grassroots
supporters?

The Majority Agenda Project formed from a workshop at the New England
United conference at Tufts Univ 2 years ago. This is a
Massachusetts-based effort building a strategic multi-issue agenda to
promote collaboration across movements in order to have a more
effective response to the present crisis. Come to hear Bill Fletcher
speak on:

Participants can enter the parking garage only from Avenue Louis
Pasteur. The garage is located underground and behind the MCB. The
