working for a better world presents
30th Annual GREAT AMERICAN WRITE-IN

 Saturday, March 7   9:30 am - 1:30 pm
 Delhi Community Center 
505 E. Central Ave., Santa Ana 92707
(between the 55 Freeway & Main St., just north of Dyer)

"The Pen is Mightier than the Sword!"

This free event is offered to the public every year to provide attendees with the means to influence policy decisions by writing letters to their legislators. It's also a great opportunity for participants - and especially students - to experience first-hand what informed citizen involvement in government is all about.  

Fifty different organizations and advocacy groups will be represented with information regarding some of today’s most vital issues, including education, health care, human and civil rights and the environment. Attendees are invited to visit the various tables and then voice their opinions by writing letters to government and corporate decision-makers in the hopes of bringing about constructive change. Last year, nearly 2,000 pieces of mail were generated! Women For: Orange County will supply the post cards, stationery, postage, refreshments and parking; however, it's a good idea to bring your own return address labels.

PLUS: This year we are honored to present an incredible panel display created by OC Human Relations - "Orange County Civil Rights: A History of an Enduring Struggle for Equality". Don't miss it!                

For more information, contact Felicity Figueroa at felicitynf@aol.com or 949-733-0850.

See you at the Write-In!!
 (..and please bring your favorite young people along!)
