An article in yesterday’s West Roxbury & Roslindale Transcript.

CORRECTION: As JUNE 6TH approaches, and we talk to organizations and public officials who have expressed interest in the idea of a rally, we’ve decided the best time for it is around 4 PM, BEFORE, not after, the MBTA HEARING at the BPL.

Please note that the rally and the boycott are not connected. You can certainly boycott if you wish, but we’d like to see a good turn-out at the rally regardless of who decides to boycott the T for a day. We’re trying to line up some speakers for the rally (one of our favorite State Senators, Jarrett Barrios, has said he’ll be there, if his schedule permits), and we’ve got every reason to believe local media will cover the event.

There will be folks in Copley Square ALL DAY (from 8 to 8) handing out materials on the fare hike, as well as easy-to-use postcards to send to legislators expressing the urgent need to address the funding issue.

If you are interested in stopping by and pitching in in any way, contact me at mmennonno@yahoo.com and let me know. I am still up for a brief beer-soaked organizing binge on Thursday, June 1st, but if you want to join me you need to RSVP ASAP.
