Save Our Public Transit Demonstration 6/8

SAVE OUR PUBLIC TRANSIT!

March & Rally 

        

Friday, June 8th at 3:00 PM

Meet at 11 Stanwix Street (the corner of Stanwix St and Fort Pitt Blvd in Downtown Pittsburgh).  

The Pennsylvania General Assembly is about to go into summer recess without any solution to the state's transportation funding crisis in place--it's time to send a loud and clear message to our decisionmakers that we demand a dedicated source of funding for public transit now that does not balance the budget on the backs of workers, students, and our most vulnerable citizens while giving tax breaks to corporations.

JOIN PPT along with the ATU Local 85, One Pittsburgh, UFCW Local 23, Pittsburgh Interfaith Impact Network, Sierra Club Allegheny Group, Workers International League, United Electrical Workers, United Steelworkers, International Socialist Organization, Thomas Merton Center, Unite Here! and Occupy Pittsburgh TO SAY:

NO to cuts, fare hikes, layoffs, privatization, and union busting!  

YES to dedicated funding for public transportation and corporations paying their “fare” share! 

CHECK OUT THE POSTER FOR THE EVENT HERE.  FEEL FREE TO SHARE IT WITH ALL YOUR FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS AND HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!
