A note from Nicky Grist

Here is a note I just received from Nicky Grist:




Dear Colleagues and Friends, 

This month I'm hosting two events in Park Slope, Brooklyn, on behalf of an organization I truly admire: United for a Fair Economy (http://www.faireconomy.org).  I hope you'll join us and spread the word! 

(1) Public Workshop 

When: 2:00-3:30 pm, Sunday, October 30th. 
What happens at the workshop: Go beyond the sound bites that pass for national dialogue on the Great Recession, examine trends in the distribution of income and wealth using “human graphs,” explore the impact of trickle-down policies on our lives, and plan what we can do to protect vital public assets including our democracy - all in a participatory way that draws on your own experience.  
Who: Great for families, students, voters, immigrants, and everyone who cares about fairness and wants to better understand our economy. 
Cost: $15 or whatever you can afford. 

(2) Members & Friends Party 

When: 4:00-6:00 pm, Sunday, October 30th. 
What happens at the gathering: Learn how United for a Fair Economy (and its special project, Responsible Wealth) address growing income inequality and the racial wealth divide, meet people who share your values, discuss the economic issues of the day, experience a brief example of our workshop, enjoy light refreshments. 

Who: Great for people who care about organizations and strategies as well as issues; no children, please. 
Cost: Donations welcomed but not required up front.  We hope you’ll be inspired to join UFE/RW. 

Please RSVP for one or both of these events to Kathy at klique@faireconomy.org or 617-423-2148, x121 to get directions and tell us how many people will attend. 

best regards, Nicky Gristhttp://www.faireconomy.org
