Call to Action!

The following is the call to action forwarded to members of the MEAA. It contains suggestions for who and how to go about approaching people in order to achieve a more satisfactory outcome for Effie Crump and perhaps our professional industry in general.I've already written one letter. How about you? :)**Dear Allplease find attached [see previous posts] copy of a letter written to Foss last week and a press release going out tomorrow 31st (am).To our journalist members: I have provided this by way of info. If you can do something with it great.To all Equity members:Letters have already begun flying all over the place from your colleagues regarding Foss's outrageous comments made in Saturday's West.I am being interviewed tomorrow afternoon by the West for a reply article.It is now time to act. Time for you to do something. We must not passively accept Foss's statements as those of a looney Arts Minister who doesn't understand us.We must show that he has to go. Use my letter for information only, do not copy directly. Individually written letters have a stronger impact than copied off letters. We will publish all letters written in the next issue of the Equity Bulletin.Please, do something. Write to him direct at:Hon. Peter G.
