We will have two rooms at the hotel where voting is taking place to coordinate pulling out the NO Vote. We are in rooms 408 and 409. Both rooms are accessible. We welcome members to drop by for information or even just to chat throughout the day, and most importantly, to contribute to the NO Vote effort (and earn strike pay).

5. No lines Monday and Tuesday – How to get picket pay?

There will be no lines on Monday and Tuesday on the Keele Campus. Glendon is still running lines.

Here is how to help and who to contact:

a) Phone-Arounds. Help call people to pull out the vote. Contact Greg Bird: gregdbird@gmail.com
b) If you are over 25, have a driver's license, have independent insurance, and want to help with accessible transportation on Monday and Tuesday, contact Healy Thompson: healythompson@gmail.com
c) On Monday and Tuesday, we will need people handing out information in the shuttles arranged by York. For more information on this, contact Niki and Alicia (csn.thorne@gmail.com, amgrimes@yorku.ca)
d) On Monday and Tuesday, we will need people handing out information and helping mobilize around the hotel. For more information, contact Lana (bananachka@hotmail.com)
