Subject: Former GA recipients need your help
Dear Wedge,
We need your help. There is no other way to say this. The fight to help former GA recipients will end unless we keep it going!
With your help we can keep the struggle of those in dire circumstances in front of our elected officials and urge them to find real and meaningful solutions. But it won’t happen without a struggle and a struggle won’t happen without you.
We have been in front of the Governor’s Philadelphia Office asking what programs have taken the place of GA, after all the Governor himself said he was finding programs to do just that. And then many went to the Governor’s Mansion in Harrisburg to ask again.
On September 13th we will return to the Governor’s Philadelphia Office to ask, where is the meeting you promised us?
And we certainly need your help, please if you can’t come, spread the word. Let the daily struggle of those in need inspire us to struggle as well.
70,000 Pennsylvanians have had their only source of income taken by a State Budget that cut social services, eliminated General Assistance and gave every legislator a pay raise while cutting taxes for corporations!
Where is the help Governor Corbett promised GA recipients?
Come to the Governor’s Philadelphia Office to demand:
General Assistance for all who need it!
Broad and Walnut Streets
September 13th, 11:00 am
Governor Corbett’s staff promised the hundreds of people who tried to meet with him in July that the Governor would let us know what other programs are available. He still hasn’t told us where we can find help. Come with us and ask: Governor where is the help you offered?
Attached is the September 13th flyer.
