Together, we’ll discuss how corporate greed is driving these crises and how you have the power to fight back. History shows that organized mass movements are the best tool that working people have to improve their world. So that’s why we’re building Common Horizon, a movement of people like you, young workers, organizing to take money and power away from the corporate elite and invest it in affordability and climate solutions. Come to the town hall to learn more!
You Can Expect:

• Inspiring Speakers: Hear stories from local leaders about the power of grassroots organizing.
• Campaign Updates: Learn about our fight to Make Them Pay and how you can help through canvassing, postering, and other actions.
• Your Opportunity to Get Involved: Together we can start imagining what a future of climate justice and affordability looks like.

This is your chance to hold politicians accountable and be part of a growing movement of young workers. Everyone is welcome—whether you’re new to activism or an experienced organizer, there’s a role for you in the movement.
RSVP now and join the fight against greedy corporations and politicians in their pocket.”
