 young Latinos are the Economic Crisis, Immigration, and the Rising Cost of 
 Education.  \n\nPlease come meet Matt Gonzalez, the former President of the 
 San Francisco Board of Supervisors and currently, the ONLY Latino running 
 in the 2008 Presidential elections as the running mate of Ralph 
 Nadar.\n\nWhen serving as President of the Board of Supervisors, Matt 
 raised the minimum wage in San Francisco.  He also worked to create an 
 official ID card that gives undocumented workers official recognition in 
 their community.  \n\nMatt will be speaking to young people about the 
 immense power of being Latino in the United States today. He will discuss 
 the power and importance of the vote and all aspects of community 
 involvement and the political process.  He will share his own 
 story.\n\nPeter Camejo is a  4 time candidate for Governor of California 
 and author of the book, California Under Corporate Rule.  He organized the 
 first national pro-immigrant conference in 1971 and continues to be in the 
 forefront of the Immigrant Rights movement. He will discuss the budget 
 crisis in California and explain why he believes we do NOT HAVE A BUDGET 
 CRISIS…just an unfair taxation system.  \n\nPeter will talk about the 
 state of education and the prison system. He believes that all people have 
 the right to go to college. How is the 3 strikes law inherently unfair and 
 expensive?  Peter is passionate about teaching young Latinos about the 
 power of the Latino vote and wants to see that power ACTIVATED in our 
 neighborhoods. \n\nTHIS IS NOT A CAMPAIGN EVENT!\nTHIS IS A COMMUNITY
