Hello- my name is Marilyn Webster, and I am part of the organization, SPAN Ohio.(Single Payer Action Network). We are in the process of organizing a town hall meeting featuring U. S. Repres. John Conyers, Jr.  He is conducting a Jobs for All National Tour 2015-16 in key cities across the United States. The meeting will feature speakers related to the impact of long-term unemployment and poverty on communities as well as issues related to raising the minimum wage, health care insurance, etc.

U.S. Repres. Conyers represents Detroit, and has been a strong voice for progressive ideas, including job creation and health care. He has introduced a jobs bill, HR 1000, and has been involved as a sponsor of HR 676- the National Single-Payer Bill.

We are looking for sponsors and collaboration from area agencies to make this meeting a success.

This event has been scheduled for October 16, 2015 at 6:30 pm at Trinity Baptist Church, 461 St Clair Avenue, 43203.

If you would like to be involved in the further planning of this meeting, please contact me by email: mari6414@columbus.rr.com, or phone (614)870-7339

Sincerely, 

Marilyn Webster, RN, MSN
