Dear
For the past year, Peta Lindsay, Yari Osorio and hundreds of volunteers have been spreading the message about the campaign’s 10-Point Program — a program that addresses the needs of working and poor people in a way that the Democratic and Republican candidates never will.
There are now less than two weeks before the election. The Lindsay/Osorio Campaign is asking supporters around the country to help spread the message. We are offering to send you beautiful, two-sided full color palm cards with information about this campaign and its 10-Point Program free of charge to anyone willing to hand them out between now and Nov. 6.
Karla Reyes (center) is among the many volunteers who have been spreading the message about the Lindsay/Osorio campaign across the country.
Join Karla Reyes, New York City volunteer:
“As a second-year teacher who still constantly learning from students and colleagues how to improve my practice, I realized that my job as an educator goes beyond the classroom. My students’ needs go beyond what I can provide in the classroom. Republicans and Democrats want to blame teachers and public schools for the low academic performance of Black and Latino students. I disagree, and the Lindsay-Osorio campaign does too.
“I fight for my students both inside the class as a teacher and outside the class as a volunteer with the Lindsay-Osorio campaign to build a movement of people who recognize that what most negatively affects students’ performance is a capitalist system that keeps public schools underfunded and exploits the working families who rely on these same schools to educate their youth.
“I devoted a large portion of my summer break helping to get Peta Lindsay and Yari Osorio on the ballot in New York. I petitioned full time for a week and then worked around the clock the days before the filing helping to get everything ready to be taken to Albany. Since that time, I have been volunteering every Thursday after school and every Saturday to help spread the word about this campaign.
“I encourage all those around the country who agree with the 10-Point Program of the Lindsay/Osorio Campaign to help spread the word about this important message in the days leading up to the Nov. 6 election.”
