Invites you to meet
 Troy LaRaviere
Candidate for Mayor

Tuesday, September 25th

Many of you know him as the former Principal of Blaine and now he is President of the Chicago Principals and Administrators Association (CPAA) and outspoken critic of city corruption.  Now you can catch the inside story and participate in our democracy:

"I believe in the power and wisdom of the people of Chicago. When we stand up and fight together against corruption and the political machine to demand justice, we will win true reform in this city.
 
The hard work and courageous actions by the Campbell Plaintiffs and other community organizations of Chicago show us what is possible when we unite against a failed political system and say “enough is enough.”

Co-Host Committee in formation:
Stephanie Skukan, Lauren Trost, Catherine Francis
 
There will be food and refreshments.  Come by the Wishbone for the this meet and greet event.

Election Day is less than two months away!  On Saturday Evening, September 22nd, OUR REVOLUTION ILLINOIS will hold a FREE buffet dinner at Wishbone as part of a BIKE-A-THON to spread the message about progressive electoral engagement from cities to FOX country and beyond.   Bikers will be listening and talking to Americans along the route about candidates, strategies and need for a CHANGE in campaign financing and the "Democracy Show" as it exists today.

A buffet meal is being provided as a chance to meet organizers in the Midwest Midterm Progressive Bike-a-thon and to discuss participation in the on-going "Pedal Power" initiative to take the conversation to where it counts.   Candidates to support and ballot initiatives will be part of the evening's discussion along with live music provided by DANNY CHICAGO.

Drop by from 7 to 10 PM for some food and a chance to meet fellow activists at WISHBONE of course!
