Poverty

Hey,

I wanted to mention it to every body, we're having a skill building conference for people who work to help their community at a grassroots level.

It's going to be a top notch conference and heavily subsidized by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, so it's only $25 for three days.

If anyone's interested, there's registration form you can mail in at the bike shop.

Willie Baptist the Education Director of the Kensington Welfare Rights Union, is coming to speak in Rochester. Baptist has spent over 30 years dedicating his life as an activist and advocate for social change.

Shouldn't the richest nation in the world help everyone get a decent job, affordable housing, health care and education?

That's what Willie Baptist thinks.
Come hear him speak.
