Announcing: The Second 2008 Progressive Reading

A Special Benefit To Save Rent Control In San Francisco

When: Saturday, February 16, 7pm

Where: The Makeout Room – 3225 22nd Street, San Francisco, (415) 647 2888

Price: $10 - $20 sliding scale

All funds from the February 16 reading will be going to efforts to save rent control in San Francisco. On June 3 there will be an initiative on the state ballot disguised as a proposition for eminent domain reform. Hidden inside this bill is a ban on all rent control in the state of California. If this proposition passes it will effect 350,000 residents in San Francisco. The time to start raising awareness is now.

EVERYBODY ATTENDING FEBRUARY 16 GETS A SAVE RENT CONTROL T-SHIRT!
