Lindsay/Osorio Presidential Campaign hits the road in California, Rhode Island and Vermont
PSL Presidential Candidate Peta Lindsay and Vice Presidential Candidate Yari Osorio will be participating in a number of events between Friday, April 13 and Monday, April 16 in California, Rhode Island and Vermont.
The Lindsay/Osorio 2012 Presidential Campaign seeks to bring a revolutionary, socialist message into the 2012 elections. We believe real change cannot be won through the ballot—it must be won through struggle. These events are a great opportunity to get to know the PSL candidates, ask questions and learn more about what the Lindsay/Osorio 2012 Presidential Campaign is fighting for.
See below for details on these upcoming events. We look forward to having you join us!

Rally to Close Vermont Yankee Now
Brattleboro Common in Brattleboro, Vt.
(Rain location: Brattleboro Union High School, 131 Fairground Road)
Osorio will participate in the Rally to Close Vermont Yankee Now in Brattleboro, Vt. Vermont Yankee is a General Electric nuclear power plant owned by Entergy and located in Vernon, Vt. The majority of people in Vermont oppose relicensure of Vermont Yankee, and the Vermont Senate has voted against re-licensing. Despite that, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has renewed the operating license into 2032. This rally will support the will of the people of Vermont to close this facility.
