Jan. 28: Rally to STOP THE FARE HIKE!

STOP THE FARE HIKE!
ROCK THE MTA’S BROOKLYN “PUBLIC HEARING”

BAIL OUT RIDERS, NOT THE BANKS!

Wednesday, January 28 – 5 PM
New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge
333 Adams Street between Fulton & Johnson

DEMONSTRATE OUTSIDE
THEN DEMONSTRATE INSIDE

The MTA is bringing its panel of bankers and billionaires
to Brooklyn -- its very own Farehike-apolooza -- next
Wednesday night for another so-called public hearing.

Like last week, the Bail Out the People Movement will be
there to confront the Wall Street executives and rally the
people who come out to the hearing. On January 14, BOPM
turned the sidewalk in front of the Hilton into a
“People’s Public Hearing,” where transit workers, students
and activists rallied 100 people against the MTA. The
entire demonstration then marched en masse into the
hearing (see YouTube coverage below).

On Wednesday, the demonstration will also continue inside
the hearing, with dozens of placards demanding that the
MTA scrap its plans to make workers bear the brunt of its
debt crisis.
