Friends, 

Class Action is forming a Valley-wide group for young people (18-30) who 
grew up poor or working class and we've set a date for our first meeting 
of 
2006... 

When: Saturday March 11th, 1-3pm 

Where: Media Education Foundation's Community Room, 60 Masonic St., 
Northampton 

Why: Our generation was voraciously marketed to and indoctrinated by mass 
media. We knew we didnt have the same stuff the other kids at school 
hadwhether it was a pair of GUESS jeans or a roof over our heads. Theres a 
lot to talk about and were getting together March 11th for an introductory 
meeting where you can get information about Class Action, what we do, and 
what we want to do. 

Maybe youre a student, maybe youre a townie and work in the kitchen at an 
elite private college, maybe youre the first in your family to go to 
college, maybe you had to drop out because they didnt give you enough 
financial aid to stay, maybe you have nothing to do with any college and 
youre just painfully aware of where you come from and unsure about where 
youre going or how youre going to get there. Whoever you are, please come, 
meet others with similar experiences, and see if you want to be part of an 
on-going group. This space will be safe and confidential. 

Please forward this to anyone you think might be interested in coming!
