**Friday, May 30th, 4:30 pm - Protest: "March to Save
Our Healthcare II." 

Join the movement to prevent GHI-HIP from converting
to a for-profit company & jeopardizing the healthcare
of 4 million policy holders, including 500,000 NYC
workers (93% of the workforce) & retirees. Mainstream
politicians & union leaders support the change, hoping
to benefit from the nearly $3 billion windfall profits
of such a sale. Help send a "no privatization" message
to Gov. David Paterson & GHI.  

Bring friends & signs.  

4:30 pm - Meet at Office of GHI, 441 9th Avenue (34th
& 9th)
