EVENT: BUILD THE 15 NOW CAMPAIGN IN PGH!

Calling All Pittsburgh Workers!

The national 15 Now Campaign invites you to attend our first working meeting in Pittsburgh, PA. The national fight for a $15/hr minimum wage is quickly becoming one of the most urgent and important struggles for 2014. On February 22, we hope to gather worker activists from across Allegheny County at the Panera Bread location on Forbes Avenue in Pittsburgh's Oakland neighborhood. The meeting begins at 3:00pm.

We hope to use this meeting as a basis for kicking off the campaign locally in time for the upcoming National Week of Action from March 7 to 15, culminating in demonstrations across the country on March 15. Campaign materials will be made available at the meeting.

What: Exploratory Meeting to Build the 15Now Campaign in Pittsburgh
Where: Panera Bread, 3800 Forbes Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15213
When: Saturday, Feb. 22, 2014
Contact: Karl Belin, 412-589-2558karlrbelin@gmail.com
