DESCRIPTION:Public transit in the United States is facing a serious funding crisis.  
 The Bay Area's transit systems are facing massive budget shortfalls 
 resulting in service cuts, fare hikes, and layoffs.  We need to Save Our 
 Ride - Save Our Jobs - and Save Our Environment!\n\nLegislation currently 
 before Congress would make permanent changes to federal law to allow all 
 transit systems to use some of the money they already receive for operating 
 expenses. Without this flexibility, San Francisco and other California 
 cities may soon see even greater reductions in public transit services.  
 The Transportation For America coalition is standing with our allies to 
 urge Senators Boxer and Feinstein to support transit operations funding at 
 the federal level.  Please join us for a rally at the Federal Building to 
 let our leaders know that it's time to Save Our Ride!\n\nSpeakers to 
 include:\n ** Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rainbow PUSH Coalition\n ** Dave Snyder, 
 SF Transit Riders Union and T4 America\n ** Bob Allen, Urban Habitat and T4 
 America\n ** James C. Little, International President, Transport Workers 
 Union\n ** Warren S. George, International President, Amalgamated Transit 
 Union\n\nFor more information about the rally, call the TWU at 415-922-9495 
 or visit www.ourride.org.  To learn more about Transportation For America,
