At the Chapter Meeting, April 19, the suggestion of organizing a yard sale (or a market in our case) was brought up. It's in the very early stages right now, but I'm reaching out for anyone who has any ideas, or would be interested in participating in any capacity. This would be an SEIU-organized and sponsored event.
My initial thoughts are:
1) We can call them PURPLE MARKETS. We're not red, like the Republicans. We're not blue, like the Democrats. We're Purple. The perfect mixture.
2) People have a lot of STUFF that they don't NEED. People need money right now. It would allow for US to keep our money between us and become self-sustaining to a degree.
3) A possibility would be the Labor building on Manor Street. All depending on a future conversation between Chapter Chair Bill Wilson and the person who runs the place. Even if we couldn't use that building, we could find somewhere else. I think we can make a campaign of it, where we can talk to the public and educate them and show them we're REAL PEOPLE!
We can also have a Food Bank drive during any Market event.
