Where: Harlem YMCA Craft room, 180 W. 135th St. (Near 7th Avenue) 
When: Saturday, Nov.1, 5pm 
Oct. 29, 2008.- Media contact: Ben Becker, 410-371-7203Party for Socialism and Liberation presidential candidate Gloria La Riva, and her running mate Eugene Puryear will be speaking at a public forum about real solutions to the economic crisis, including an immediate end to foreclosures, evictions and rent hikes. “The only bailout that my campaign supports is one that would bail out working people, not the bankers that are at the source of the problem,” says La Riva. 
The candidates will also be speaking out against police brutality, which, Puryear said, “has reached epidemic proportions in New York and other cities across the country.” 
La Riva, and Puryear are active organizers in the movement calling for an immediate end to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. They call for the withdrawal of all U.S. military from the 800 bases it occupies around the world and to re-direct the billions wasted on war to programs that create jobs and pay for health and human services right here at home. 
The PSL Candidates are on the ballot in 12 states including, New York. 
“No matter who wins the election on November 4 the crisis facing poor and working people will continue as will the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan,” said La Riva. “The Democrats and Republicans are the political parties of extreme wealth in a criminal system of exploitation and oppression.” The forum at the Harlem YMCA will present a truly alternative view a socialist view. 
Both Gloria La Riva and Eugene Puryear have been on separate speaking tours throughout the country, and are converging in Harlem to address this forum. This is an exciting opportunity just three days before the general election. Don't miss it!
