This moment is your moment. Your voice got Councilmember Barry’s attention. Tomorrow, Councilman Barry will address his remarks about Asian American business owners and Filpino nurses in a joint press conference at the Matthews Memorial Baptist Church. And its your support that pushed Councilman Barry to finally own up to what he’s said.
Will you join us at the event and share the news with your friends?
In a meeting last week, Councilmember Barry agreed to stand behind you, the “Say Sorry Barry” campaign and our coalition by speaking at this event. Tomorrow, the Councilman will discuss the ongoing work we need to do to uplift all Ward 8 residents and small businesses. David Chung, a local business owner and commissioner on the Mayor’s Office of Asian and Pacific Islander Affairs, will represent the campaign at the press conference.
Help make sure community members hear what Councilmember Barry and David Chung have to say.
Even if you can’t join us, follow the Twitter hashtag #SaySorryBarry for live updates.
Sincerely,
Olivia Chow
DC-APAP Co-Chair
P.S., It’s our turn to show our disapproval of words that single people out because of who they are. Can you forward this email below to five friends and ask them to come to the event?
