Bring the Procession for the Future to Your Campus or Town!

The Backbone Campaign and our movement partners present the Procession for the Future, a creative organizing tool inspire, educate and train students, youth and concerned citizens to be more effective activists in this critical time. We first launched the Procession on March 4th (March Forth!), 2008 in Portland, Oregon.

Bring the Backbone Campaign's Procession for the Future to Your Campus!

As you know, getting media attention and recruiting for our causes can sometimes feel dreary. The Backbone Campaign has learned that in terms of media and recruitment - SIZE MATTERS! Therefore we've created our Procession for the Future parade, consisting of over 20 giant puppets, icons and colorful banners. The Procession stands out and communicates that We the People are taking the lead, that progressive solutions are attainable for a beautiful future, and that being part of the movement is loads of fun! Watch a short video.

I have just received confirmation that Congressman John Conyers (MI) has accepted the invitation from the PNHP Philadelphia Metropolitan Chapter (Physicians for a National Health Plan) and HCAP to speak on HR 676 and what all of us need to do to muster massive support.

Please make plans to attend this program. They have not yet discussed the Agenda as they received the confirmation from Conyers' office yesterday.

We will need much publicity for the program as we need to fill the 200 + seats. We (HCAP & PNHP members) are looking for all to help (each of you) with publicity.

Although the program is free and open, we will encounter travel charges for Conyers and perhaps an assistant Wash DC to Philly to Detroit. Therefore we will be passing the hat there to pay for the trip.

Thanks again and please mark your calendars and get the word out.
