MARCH TO STOP THE MTA FARE HIKES -
Mon. Feb 2nd

BAIL OUT RIDERS, NOT THE BANKS!
THIS MONDAY FEBRUARY 2ND 2009 @ 5:00pm
125 STREET at ST. NICHOLAS AVENUE on (A/B/C/D ) Train AT 5:30pm
MARCH TO 125 STREET LENOX AVE. ( 2/3) Train for and then Rally and PROTEST Against
MTA SERVICE CUTS from 6:00 to 7:00 PM(on Lenox avenue station)


This Monday, Feb. 2nd Transit Workers will lead a march across Harlem to protest the fare hikes and service cuts. We can not allow the MTA to pit riders against transit workers to try to fix their budget problems. The MTA crisis was created by the MTA. The bank crisis was created by their own bond debt; Why should the people pay? We say bail out the people -- not the banks. Many of those same banks were just bailed out by billions of dollars of the people's money. Bank of America just got 20 billion more.

No, now is not the time to raise fares and cut services. Now is time for the banks to use one of the billions they sucked out of mass transit, the treasury and our labor to pay for mass transit. So please join us this Monday, in Harlem at 125th street, starting at 5:00PM.
