If anyone wants to hold a little "summit" on social security or take part in a social security "summit" be sure and call your local county or city AFL-CIO for information and materials. If your local county or city body isn't doing anything ask about which member local unions are interested in the issue and find out who to contact. Don't be afraid to call the state AFL-CIO president, his office can get you materials and help too!
