DESCRIPTION:RECLAIM THE STREETS: RENTERS RISE UP!\n\nSan Francisco renters will be 
 taking to the streets on May 31st to reclaim public space and call 
 attention to the urgent need to protect tenants’ rights in this 
 ever-gentrifying city. The action has been timed to raise awareness about 
 the urgent need to stop Proposition 98 and save rent control in the June 
 3rd election.\n\nReclaim the Streets: Renters Rise Up! is being organized 
 by a collective of artists, teachers, tenants’ rights activists, 
 students, union organizers, and renters. The group will gather at Dolores 
 Park in the Mission District and will then depart to an undisclosed 
 location. The action will festively proceed through the streets of San 
 Francisco, complete with music, performers, moving sound systems, 
 spontaneous art, and dancing. Reclaim the Streets organizers will not 
 obtain a permit for this action, because we believe that we should not need 
 permission to use public space in our city. Control of our neighborhoods 
 should be in the hands of people who live in them, not high-paid 
 developers, elite politicians, or hostile police. When we stand together, 
 we can reclaim public space and fill it with art and 
 celebration.\n\nReclaim the Streets: Renters Rise Up! is about reclaiming 
 public space, by taking to the streets in “unpermitted” celebration and 
 by fighting to ensure that San Francisco remains a vibrant, multicultural 
 city welcoming to more than just the rich. All are invited to attend, 
 especially Bay Area renters, and we encourage participants to bring games, 
 music, costumes, and stunts.\n\nDate: Saturday May 31st\n\nTime: 
 1:00pm\n\nLocation: Dolores Park in the Mission District San Francisco, 
 CA\n\nwww.reclaimsf.org\n\nEVERYONE IN CALIFORNIA: VOTE NO ON 98 AND YES ON 
 99 ON JUNE 3RD!\n\nIf Prop 98 passes it would eliminate rent control and 
 make it easier for landlords to evict tenants. This statewide proposition 
 threatens to erode hard-won tenants’ rights, displace entire communities, 
 and push countless renters out of San Francisco (and other areas with rent 
 control including Berkeley and Santa Monica). If this passes San Francisco 
 will drastically change within a matter of years, forcing out the city’s 
 working class and people of color in record numbers in record time.\n\nThis 
 is a STATEWIDE proposition so, please, ALL California voters vote NO on 
 Proposition 98 and vote YES on Proposition 99 (a proposition put on the 
 ballot to undo the damaging effects of Proposition 98, in the event it were 
 to pass) even if that’s all you vote on in this election.\n\nFor more
