<h1 style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">Urgent: Volunteers and publicity needed for Budget for All Referendum!</h1>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;"><b><img src="http://justicewithpeace.org/files/u415/YardSignDesign.200.jpg" alt="Vote Yes on Budget for All" vspace="5" hspace="10" align="right">see list of 5 volunteer tasks below</b></p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;"><b>contact</b>: Paul Shannon, <a href="mailto:pshannon@afsc.org">pshannon@afsc.org</a> or Duncan McFarland, <a href="mailto:mcfarland13@gmail.com">mcfarland13@gmail.com</a></p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">The Budget for All referendum for peace and justice is on the ballot in much of the greater Boston area and other parts of Massachusetts. Publicity is now the big challenge: numerous progressive political officials are supporting the initiative and many people like the referendum and will vote yes -- but lots of potential supporters still haven't heard about it. We need UJP groups to help get the word out. UJP community groups can play a crucial role in winning a big YES vote on Nov. 6 -- activity at the grassroots level is critical ! With only three weeks left until the Nov. 6 election, now is the time when voters are listening and we have the opportunity to send our message!</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">The referendum calls for protecting social security and other essential programs, ending the wars and reducing the military budget, and funding jobs and our communities. The full text, flyers, media support and other resources are at the Budget for All website:</p>

<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">For more information: <a href="http://www.justicewithpeace.org"><b><i>www.justicewithpeace.org</i></b></a></p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;"><b>Volunteers are needed for the following tasks:</b></p>
<ol>
<li>to bring our flyers to the many events coming up over the next few weeks, and where possible to inform people at these events about the referendum</li>
<li>to help our coordinators in the different districts carry out outreach activities on the local level (holding our rally signs, handing out flyers, etc.)</li>
<li>getting our press releases into local media outlets</li>
<li>having a presence at as many polling places throughout the state as possible on election day itself</li>
<li>“Thank you” leafleting on the Thursday after the election in towns where we win the vote</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">If you can volunteer for any of these tasks, please let us know.</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;"><b>To make sure Paul sees your email response, please write “HELP: Volunteers needed” in the subject line and email <a href="mailto:pshannon@afsc.org">pshannon@afsc.org</a></b></p>
