Call the Mayor Day

If you've ever been to a nightclub here in SF, live in a warehouse or participate in an event at a gallery this affects you.

I'm sure you're all familiar with Stop the War on Fun (http://www.stopthewaronfun.org/) where nightclubs are getting harassed by the ABC and other parties are having laptops and other equipment confiscated. A lot of us that live in warehouse spaces are also concerned since we have the SFPD (or rather certain officers in the SFPD) cracking down on us too.

We're not taking this lying down and us warehousers have already started a coalition to represent us but we need your help. Not just for our sake but more importantly the continued existence of nightlife in the city we live/work in. Here's what you can do:

First, read this article on SF Appeal that gives a bit of history: http://sfappeal.com/culture/2010/01/whats-shaking-down-sf-venues-call-the-mayor-day-thats-what.php

Second, RSVP on this Facebook invite (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=270204687372) or Plancast (http://plancast.com/a/ctf) and make your voice known.

Third, call the Mayor on February 9th and let him know that you won't stand for this: Telephone: (415) 554-6141 Fax: (415) 554-6160 Email: gavin.newsom [at] sfgov.org http://www.sfmayor.org/contact-the-mayor/

Good luck and happy calling!
