Start practicing your leafleting technique

I'm thinking I'll be hangin' at 30th Street on Wednesday, and maybe Thursday too. Anyone else up for it? Below I've posted an e-mail I got from Phillytransit (which appears to have morphed into Pennsylvania Transit).

What You Can Do to Save Public Transit

Distribute Leaflets
Join us to distribute leaflets about our cause at Center City Philadelphia train stations on Wednesday and Thursday, January 19 and 20 from 4:15 to 6:15. Contact us immediately if you would like to join that effort.

Leaflets for distribution at bus stops and other train stations will be available on-line and at select locations next week. Contact us if you would like to distribute them.

Become a Station Captain

We are looking for individuals who will be station captains. Your task will be to organize supporters at your train station or bus stop. During the week of January 24 to 28 we would like our supporters to come out early to their train station or bus stop, bring their cell phones, and asking people to call their state legislator then and there. Other transit activists can seek names and contact information for folks who would like to express support for and volunteer to help our campaign for public transit. Please contact us immediately if you would like to be a station captain or take part in this effort.

Rally in Harrisburg Monday, February 14, 2005
We will are planning a massive rally in Harrisburg. Free trains and buses will be available. More information about the rally will be available soon. In the meantime, save the date.

On Our Way
Over Sixty Organizations Support Pennsylvania Transit Coalition

On Wednesday we held a press conference successful beyond our wildest dreams. Over sixty community, labor, business, religious, and advocacy organizations joined us to announce the formation of the Pennsylvania Transit Coalition. (Here is our current list of supporters. More names are being added every day.) Many of these organizations have already been activated. They are reaching out to their members throughout the state, asking them to contact their state legislators. Many of these groups are also contributing money to make the efforts we describe below possible.
