Hello C2D2 network,
We just received this note below from Janet Fiero of
AmericaSpeaks via the NCDD listerv about a landmark effort to bring the voices
of low-income families into discussions in the US. AmericaSpeaks is looking
for volunteer facilitators (at least 300 for each city) who can help them in
Birmingham Alabama, Chicago Illinois and Los Angeles California on September
6th.
Because time is so short, we are forwarding this message as
we received it (that is, in English only).
This could be a great opportunity to help out, to see
AmericaSpeaks in action, and to get some great ideas about bringing important
voices into discussions that affect people's lives and communities.
Please, as Janet suggests, forward the information to your
networks. And, if you are interested and available in personally helping on
September 6th, there is contact information below for each city.
Hope you're having a wonderful summer!
Miriam and Joanna

Please Help Spread the Word!

Dear NCDD friend,
AmericaSpeaks is working with the Marguerite Casey
Foundation’s Equal Voice for America’s Families (
http://www.equalvoice2008.org/) Campaign. They have launched an extraordinary
effort to bring the collective voices of low-income families to the table
including traditional town meetings in 63 cities across the country.
The next important step in Equal Voice for America's Families
is a National Convention to be held in three cities on September 6th. There
will be more than 3,000 people in Birmingham, Alabama; Chicago, and Los Angeles
- a total of more than 9,000 participants! We will need to recruit at least 300
table facilitators in each of those cities. This is an historic opportunity to
help build a community of low-income families across the nation that will
develop an action plan going forward.
Recruiting 900 facilitators in less than a month is a
significant challenge! Please help AmericaSpeaks by taking the time today to
spread word about this opportunity to any of your networks, colleagues,
clients, and friends who might like to be a table facilitator or who can help
reach others who might consider facilitating.
There are three ways you can help us reach our goal of 900
facilitators:
1. o Share this link with your facilitator networks
http://www.americaspeaks.org/facilitationopportunities/EVAF
2. Send the attached short description of the project
and the key recruitment facts as an email to anyone or any organization you
know that might be interested in facilitating
3. Send an to site managers directly (Birmingham –
Mattice Haynes ( [email protected]); Chicago – Daniel Clark (
[email protected]); Los Angeles – Jesse Sostrin (
[email protected]) with suggestions of organizations, networks or
individuals to whom we should connect!
Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide!
Janet
