| This victory, largely due to the efforts of the Chicago chapter of ACORN is now in jeopardy, and there is something we here in Austin can do about it.
This Thursday join Austin-area ACORN organizers and other community activists in demanding that Target respect the democratic process in Illinois.
An as of now, un-specified local-area Target will be targeted as we issue our demands in a forceful, yet tempered fashion.
This event will not be a media circus and as such, will largely consist of (hopefully) an impromptu meeting with the general manager of the to-be disclosed Target store. We will attempt to force her hand to her fax machine so that she might submit a memo to Target's corporate offices detailing the support that exists for a living wage across the country.
But hell, we might just throw a pie in her face and skeedaddle.
I apologize for the scant details, but this news just fell into my lap this afternoon. Be gentle.
I'm just trying to drum up some support and interest from the community.

In Solidarity,
