Dear Ann Arbor LEO members,

This coming Monday, the Ann Arbor City Council will vote on the budget and whether or not to eliminate 12 firefighter positions.

If you are opposed to these cuts, please join with us to attend the council meeting.

We will meet on Monday, May 23rd -- at 6:30 pm -- in the LEO/GEO Office, 330 E Liberty, 3F.

There, we will pick up small signs or other ways to make our support of the firefighters visible and then at 6:45 we will walk together to the Council Meeting (301 E. Huron, Second Floor).
Please pass this message on to non-LEO members you think might be interested! See the news links below for more information on the cuts.

Solidarity,

Ian Robinson
LEO AA Campus Council Co-Chair
