[Lauren Merryfield]

Hi,
I wish I could be there.  I will be in spirit.  I hope you get the good 
publicity we need from it.  We don't need to go back to the dark ages.
Thanks
Lauren

Hello Everyone,



Attached you will find the press release we issued concerning this Tuesday's 
(July 26th) demonstration. I wanted everyone to see it. We will be picketing 
at 915 2nd Avenue (between Madison and Marion) from 10 a.m. until noon in 
front of the Jackson Federal Building, which houses, among other offices, 
Senator Patty Murray's local office. We are hoping for some good press. Mike 
Mello will be coordinating the demonstration and I will be handling the 
public relations. We will be joined by members of other disability rights 
organizations who are also in support of our opposition to subminimum wages. 
This event will only be canceled if Senator Murray makes a public statement 
saying that the proposed Workforce Investment Act contains a number of 
provisions which she cannot support, including Title V, Section 511, and 
that she will not vote for it until Section 511 and the other provisions are 
removed.



We encourage anyone who can do so to join us on Tuesday in Seattle. We will 
have some signs to carry. If you can attend please be prepared to carry 
whatever belongings you bring. The Jackson Federal Building occupies the 
entire block from Madison to Marion.We will be in downtown Seattle so there 
won't be anywhere to store things. Hopefully we will get some good press 
coverage. If you have any questions, please fell free to contact my via the 
phone numbers and email listed in the press release. See you there!



Marci Carpenter
