DESCRIPTION:\n\nA coalition of tenant, labor, housing,  senior & community groups are 
 organizing this action to show there is voter outrage at wealthy real 
 estate predators (many of whom don't even live in SF) attempts to buy this 
 election and transform the Board of Supervisors. To show this support, we 
 are trying to get over 200 people to this protest so please attend and 
 bring some friends. We expect to be joined by the Brass Liberation 
 Orchestra, too!\n\nThis November, whether the Board of Supervisors remains 
 pro-tenant, pro-labor, and progressive will be determined by what happens 
 in the swing Supervisors Districts of 1, 3 and 11. These districts are open 
 with current Sups. McGoldrick, Peskin & Sandoval termed out. These are 
 moderate districts which could go either way-if we want to maintain our 
 majority on the Board we can't afford to lose even one (see analysis 
 below). Rent control is at stake here-our rent control law is just a local 
 ordinance which could be weakened or ended by a 6-5 vote of the Board of 
 Supervisors!\n\nLandlords & Realtors know this too. They're spending 
 hundred of thousands of dollars against the pro-tenant candidate in 
 District 1 (Eric Mar), District 3 (David Chiu) and District 11 (John 
 Avalos) trying to buy this election for their candidates: Sue Lee in D1, 
 Joseph Alioto in D3 and Aasha Safai in D11.\n\nJoin us Thursday, 10/23 as 
 we protest & picket the realtors and landlords who are trying to subvert 
 democracy. Gather at Board of Realtor at corner of Franklin & Grove Streets 
 at 5:30 PM.\n\n\nSee the excellent article and chart in the Bay Guardian 
 showing how this election is being bought.
