ATTENTION WELFARE/WORKFARE RIGHTS
>> ORGANIZERS AND LEADERS:
>>
>> ACORN invites you to participate in a National OrganizersU
>> Summit on Welfare Reform this summer in Milwaukee,
>> from July 25-27.
>>
>> ACORN, joined by labor unions, religious organizations,
>> and national political leaders, is sponsoring this Summit to
>> call attention to the consequences of welfare reform, and to
>> highlight the work of the many organizations that are
>> mobilizing welfare and workfare recipients to fight back.
>>
>> Over 1000 ACORN members from around the country,
>> along with representatives from scores of other community,
>> church, and labor organizations, will be coming to
>> Milwaukee for this event.  We chose Milwaukee because
>> WisconsinUs W-2 program has come to symbolize the worst
>> abuses of so-called welfare reform.  WisconsinUs welfare
>> recipients have been forced off the rolls in record numbers,
>> and most have ended up in oppressive sub-minimum wage
>> workfare slots, or have fallen Rthrough the cracksS onto the
>> uncertain charity of soup-kitchens, shelters, and
>> overburdened relatives.  A sponsoring committee led by
>> Milwaukee ACORN and other local organizations working
>> with W-2 recipients is hard at work planning this event.
>>
>> The highlight of the Summit will be a Hearing on Sunday,
>> July 26, at which a panel of national leaders will be taking
>> testimony from welfare and workfare recipients from around
>> the country.  The composition of the panel is still in
>> formation, but early confirmations have come from Linda
>> Chavez-Thompson, Executive Vice President of the AFL-
>> CIO; Professor Frances Fox Piven, long-time expert on
>> welfare rights; well-known writer Barbara Ehrenreich; and
>> former Administration official Peter Edelman, who resigned
>> to protest the Clinton welfare legislation.
>>
>> Among those testifying will be workfare workers from New
>> York City who recently voted 17,000 to 200 for form a
>> union; workfare recipients from Los Angeles who just won a
>> precedent-setting grievance procedure; welfare recipients
>> from Boston who just won a commitment from the city to
>> spend welfare-to-work funds to move people into living
>> wage jobs; and many other courageous leaders of an
>> emerging national welfare/workfare rights movement.  This
>> gathering will be unique in its focus on the voices and
>> experiences of welfare and workfare recipients themselves:
>> the majority of ACORN members and Summit attendees
>> have first-hand experience with the welfare system, and are
>> involved in local and statewide fights against welfare reform.
>>
>> The Summit will also include workshops and training
>> sessions for welfare and workfare leaders and organizers, on
>> issues such as:  how to build effective welfare and workfare
>> rights organizations; how to impact state and federal policy
>> issues; how to combine service delivery, including legal
>> services, with organizing; how to work with community
>> organizations, unions, and other organizations; and much
>> more.
>>
>> This promises to be an important and well-covered event,
>> which will play a significant role in amplifying the voices of
>> welfare and workfare recipients who are struggling first
>> hand with the consequences of this countryUs disastrous
>> experiment in ending welfare.  We hope you will join us.
>>
>> We have arranged inexpensive room and board at local
>> colleges.  For more information on this event, and to reserve
>> a place, contact:  Lisa Donner, at 718-246-7900 ext 243
