An event going on in Des Moines tonight. Please get the word out! This organization is planning on doing more events like this throughout Des Moines.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you find a good job?
Are good jobs available for all??
What are the barriers to good jobs???
Join us on Tuesday, June 9th at 7 p.m. at Philadelphia Seventh-day Adventist Church (1639 Garfield Avenue) for a frank and open conversation about the world of work. Philadelphia has partnered with AMOS, Workforce Development and Making Connections to begin identifying the barriers between unemployed and underemployed Iowans and a good job. Over the next few months AMOS (A Mid Iowa Organizing Strategy) will be organizing hundreds of conversations across Des Moines to identify the problems associated with getting good jobs. These conversations will lead to a strategy to make good jobs available to more people in our city.
We need to hear from you! What have your experiences been in finding good paying jobs in Des Moines? What's your dream job? Help us shape an economy that works for all!
For questions about this meeting, please call the Philadelphia church office at 262-7467 or Paul Turner at AMOS at 554-3433. See you on June 9th!

I attended this meeting tonight. A great group of people. Too bad there were not very many people there though. I was enthusiastically welcomed into the group though as I had a story to tell about my unemployment situation. Please, others, go to the next meeting which will be held on June 23 at 7 p.m. at 4928 Franklin at Living Truth Church. They want to hear from you!

Thanks for your comments on this event. Are they posting this information anywhere on the web so we can all have access to it? I'll definitely put the next event on the sidebar. Sounds like they're really trying to create a unified voice to take to the politicians!!! The unemployed need to go to this event to have their voices heard!
