DESCRIPTION:Act Now to Protect Clean Energy Choice!\nJoin the Campaign to Defeat Prop 
 16\n\n\nThe tide is turning against Prop 16, PG&E's Monopoly Protection 
 Act. Opposition to this deceptive ballot initiative has grown in recent 
 weeks to include major cities, businesses, and community groups.\n\nJoin 
 the Local Clean Energy Alliance and The Utility Reform Network for THE 
 campaign event of the season, featuring some of the most powerful Bay Area 
 voices for energy choice and an inclusive green economy.\n\n We CAN Defeat 
 PG&E's Prop 16 and\nProtect Clean Energy Choice!\n\nMark Toney of The 
 Utility Reform Network (TURN) will discuss how we can get 10,000 people 
 statewide making 100 calls in the final month of the campaign.  Megan 
 Matson of Mainstream Moms Organize or Bust (MMOB) will present the Voter 
 Outreach Platform (used by Obama's campaign), the Bay Area Get Out The Vote 
 (GOTV) effort, ways to create buzz with the forthcoming No on Prop 16 film 
 series, and how you can plug into these efforts.\n\nThere are ample 
 opportunities for every one to get involved including -- but not limited to 
 -- phone banking, throwing house parties, and reaching out to 
 organizations. Representatives of the Grassroots Working Group will discuss 
 a variety of ways people can participate in defeating Prop 16. Join 
 us!\n\nFinger foods and drinks will be provided.\n\nThis meeting is 
 co-sponsored by:\n\n    * Bay Localize\n    * TURN (The Utility Reform 
 Network) \n    * Ella Baker Center\n    * Greenlining Institute\n    * 
 Local Clean Energy Alliance\n    * No on 16 Grassroots Working Group\n    * 
 Sierra Club Bay Chapter\n\nProp 16 would lock PG&E's high rates into the 
 California Constitution by locking out community choice and public power. 
 Prop 16 would require a super-majority vote in any community that wants to 
 switch to a greener or cheaper non-profit energy provider.\n\nWithout 
 choice, customers will have to accept:\n\n * PG&E's high rates instead of 
 the lower rates of non-profit utilities\n * Even higher rates in the 
 future: PG&E has over $6 billion more in rate hikes currently pending at 
 the California Public Utilities Commission\n * PG&E greenwashing instead of 
 real green energy and real green jobs\n\nPlease RSVP to 
 craig@baylocalize.org\n\n\n
