The official signature drive kickoff isn’t until Thursday — so these few days are like our pre-Broadway tryouts. Already, the excitement is infectious. People are diving into this drive with enthusiasm and energy. I got 70 signatures over two days — Rep. Jim Marzilli, Rep. Peter Koutoujian, former Sen. Warren Tolman, Worcester Mayor Tim Murray, former Cong. Chet Atkins, among others. Cong. Jim McGovern, one of our top 10 signers, gave us a nice boost at two events this week.
This Saturday, Sen. Jarrett Barrios and the Greater Boston Interfaith Organization will meet at the Danehy Park Family Day in Cambridge to gather signatures. Come for an hour or more and help make sure we get the number of signatures we need to get on the ballot. MEETING LOCATION: Parking lot off of Sherman Street between Walden and Rindge Street in Cambridge. WHEN: This Saturday, September 24 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. To RSVP, please e-mail stuart@barrios.org.
We’re rockin’, so feel welcome to be a part of this movement. Commit to collect 100 signatures between now and October 5, or whatever number you can.
