Rally for Jobs

API – along with our allied associations – will conduct a number of “Job Rallies” in early September, just before Congress reconvenes.   The focus of the rallies will be on amplifying the public’s concerns on jobs and the economy, ending the moratorium, and complementing API’s tax advocacy.   

We encourage all member companies to get your employees to the rallies. We are requesting that you notify the API Houston Chapter membership and ask all members to participate and help us get the word out to all interested persons/companies. For large companies that will send a good number of employees, we would like them to appoint one person to work with us to coordinate the company’s participation and make certain we have appropriate logistics; we want to ensure a good experience for all participants. A rally-specific microsite (www.rallyforjobs.org) has been established, and will be updated periodically. 

We will start with a Texas Rally on Wednesday September 1^st; with concurrent events in Houston, Beaumont and Corpus Christi from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm.  Some member companies have already committed to sending 200 – 1000 employees. As we did last year, we will have a light lunch and t-shirts for participants. Please see the schedule below, help us get the word out to your members, clients and vendors, and have your representative contact me or Joey Harrington (harringtonj@api.org) for further and updated information:
