We Pay, They Profit FORUM This Monday NOV. 26th 

The private market is on the prowl, eager to take over many of our public services. Our health, electricity, water, education, prisons, and municipal services are vulnerable. The public take the risks and private corporations reap the profits. 

A coalition has been formed to fight back! We are defending public services on the basis of public health and safety, accessibility, environmental concerns and employee fairness. 

"WE PAY, THEY PROFIT" - A FREE PUBLIC FORUM 

WHEN?
Monday November 26th, 7:30pm
