Dear Friends,

Wow, what an exciting ride we are having over here at
the Aimee Allison Headquarters. It feels like history
is in the making as we work around the clock to win
real change for our beloved city. The endorsements,
volunteers and grassroots support keep pouring in. The
United Farm Workers, Dolores Huerta,
and the Black Elected Officials of the East Bay
endorsed this week.

With just 12 days to go before Election Day, we are
having volunteer mobilizations daily. Here are ways
you can plug in to make history in Oakland:

1. Help us bring 100 awesome volunteers (including
yourself) every day for the next 12 days to help us
DO THE WORK to get out the vote (precinct walking and
phone banking) - its fun and VITAL in order to win
Oakland back!
This Saturday, former Oakland Councilmember, Wilson
Riles will be here to kick things off!
And Sunday, former SF Supervisor, Matt Gonzalez will
also join us.

2. Help coordinate and show up this Saturday with
drums, music and costumes for an All Treats, No
Tricks Parade with Aimee at 1:30pm - through the
Farmers' Market and around the Lakeshore area. Wear
orange, bring orange balloons.

3. Help coordinate an Early Voter Halloween Party on
the grass near the courthouse (voting center) with
costumes, fun and lively spirits during the day
on Oct. 31.

4. Help us raise more money! (You, too can write a
check for up to $600 - the campaign limit - or any
amount to change the future!)

5. Next Friday at 5pm (the last Friday before the
election) join Aimee supporters at the Grand Lake
Theater for a bright orange bike ride.

CALL US MORNING, NOON, OR NIGHT TO GET IN ON THE MOST
IMPORTANT ELECTION TO HIT THE BAY AREA IN YEARS.

Towards a healthy Oakland,

Neighbors for Aimee Allison
