April 6: TRU Lunchtime Potluck, Newsletter Launch, Call to Action… then Midnight March for Metro!

March 27, 2013

The Transit Riders Union would like to invite you to join us on Saturday, April 6 to celebrate our past, eat food in the present, and fight for our future!  Come to our potluck and newsletter launch from 12-3 at the Downtown YMCA, then join our Midnight March for Metro at 11 pm.

Potluck
This is a great opportunity to meet TRU members and learn more about us! And for current members, this is a great chance to get to know each other outside of a meeting! Please bring a dish to share if you can. Otherwise bring your appetite 🙂

Newsletter Launch
The TRU is pleased to announce the first issue of our first printed newsletter, the Transit Reader. This will be the world premier, so you’re not gonna wanna miss out!

Call to Action!
Metro Transit service is in jeopardy! Because of budget shortages, our service is scheduled to be cut by 17% next year unless the state legislature gives King County funding options! We’ll be making calls and flooding the answering machines of key Legislators, so they get the message to Save Our Metro!

Saturday, April 6, 12-3pm
