This meeting will be split into two separate subjects, each taking an hour:

- The first hour, 6pm-7pm, of the meeting will be with the Philly Defends Democracy Coalition groups working on strategy for an upcoming ballot question included in Philly's general election in November.  We had the City Council Hearing this week, and we need to plan for Summer outreach & the confirmation hearing in September.

 - Then from 7pm to 8pm, we're hosting an organizer from 99Rise, who will be speaking about trainings, activities and actions that will be occuring over the Summer to lead up to a 10,000 person civil disobedience direct action focusing on the corrupting influence of money over government, specifically corp & gov't symbols that are directly involved in this corruption. 
 - We're going to save the last hour, 8pm-9pm, for follow-up discussion or public outreach.

Philly Rootstrikers are moving to a new Summer schedule!  Instead of meeting indoors every week to discuss strategy and future actions, we've been heading out to public spaces to talk with people and educate them on the corrupting influence of money over government.  Each person we talk with is invited to a Discussion Meeting held on the last Wednesday of every month, which will focus on providing additional education, opinions and materials about our cause.

This Discussion Meeting, on 06/26/13, is the first of the Summer.  Please join us as we learn more about the corrupting influence of money and build a greater understanding among a greater number of people.
