On Thursday, November 12, 2009, SJSU students and faculty will hold the 4th Annual "Poverty Under the Stars" Campus Sleep Out at San Jose State, and we would like to invite your organization to participate.

This year's "Poverty Under the Stars" event, which is sponsored by the Gulf Coast Civic Works Project and the Cesar Chavez Community Action Center, is focused on the Great Recession.  There are three ways your organization can participate:

• Decorate a tent that demonstrates how the Great Recession is impacting your community;
• Come to the 7-9 pm community-wide event at the Smith & Carlos Statue Garden and hear speakers (including someone from your organization) discuss how the Great Recession is affecting your community, and learn now Civic Works can create jobs and rebuild America.
• Sleep out in solidarity with the people who are being effected by the Great Recession.

If you and/or your organization are interested in participating in the 4th Annual "Poverty Under the Stars" Campus Sleep Out, please email or call me at 510-508-5382.  And please share with your staff and members, and feel free to distribute it widely.
