Wage Theft in America - A Presentation by Author Kim Bobo

The Justice For All Speakers Forum and the Hudson Valley Area Labor Federation are presenting a discussion with Kim Bobo on Sunday, October 11th. Bobo, of Interfaith Worker Justice, will be presenting on Wage Theft in America. Wage Theft in America isn’t just the title of her recent book, but also a growing problem throughout the country. Millions of workers are being cheated while employers continue to take advantage and profit off of workers in almost every industry. Bobo has outlined what we can do to prevent these injustices and will be in Poughkeepsie to discuss it with us.

When: Sunday, October 11th, 4:00pm

Where: Poughkeepsie Friends Meeting

          249 Hooker Avenue, Poughkeepsie

Description

We are closer than ever to fundamentally shifting the way that New York State provides legal defense for those who can't afford a lawyer, AND WE NEED YOUR HELP.

The State Budget is set to come out on April 1, 2009.

Gideon Day (our March 18th advocacy day in Albany) was a phenomenal success, and now we need to secure the Governor's support. He is the last essential piece to making the Commission a reality.

Please call:
Governor Paterson at 518-474-8390
Speaker Silver at 518-455-3791
Majority Leader Smith at 518 455-2701

and tell them, "Please allocate $3 million for the Independent Public Defense Commission from the Indigent Legal Services Fund in the 2009 budget. New York State needs JUSTICE NOW!"
