Hi friends:
The CT Center for a New Economy (CCNE) has asked me to lead a walking tour of Hartford as a fundraiser on Tuesday, June 21 at 5:30. A leaflet is attached. This is a NEW tour, not the one we have done in the past, and it centers around Dutch Point.
It's fun, interactive (if you want it to be), and informative (I learned a lot putting it together). The walk focuses on "people's history," that is, the stories left out of the history books. If you are like me, learning about our local past is inspiring.
The same kind of important organizing work that YOU are doing right now-- on labor, civil rights, anti-war, tenant/homeless and other social justice issues-- has been done for more than 100 years here in Hartford.
Most of all, this is a great way to help CCNE and its important work.
The attached leaflet gives all the details and who to contact. Hope to see you there!
Steve Thornton
