Message from the host of: “Koch Party on Park Avenue”
To: Greggory w Morris
The following is a message from the host of Koch Party on Park Avenue, the MoveOn Action that you signed up to attend:
Greetings!
We’re looking forward to joining you tonight for the Koch Party outside David Koch’s Park Avenue apartment, to expose the Koch brothers’ attacks on our democracy, our environment, our voting rights, and our social safety net.
Have a camera phone? Please bring it and be ready to snap photos, take video, and share with all your friends, using hashtag #KochParty
We’ll gather at 6 p.m. today at the NW corner of Park Avenue and W. 71st St. The rain has stopped and the sun has come out–and we’re going to have fun.
This is the kick-off to a summer of activism. We’re expecting media coverage, so having a strong turnout is key. Your presence matters!
See you there!
Victoria and Aaron

As some of us have found out the hard way, the NYS Workplace Violence Prevention Law, if, and when it is enforced by a public employer, can and is used to target people in abusive work environments to react to intentional and malicious acts of workplace bullying. [That is, targets of abuse are baited by abusers and/or their flunkies].
