DESCRIPTION:Stop MUNI 'Saturation" Raids! \nStop the Terrorizing of MUNI 
 Riders!\nM.O.R.E. Public Transit Meeting\nThursday, July 29, 6pm\nPOWER Bay 
 View Office\n4923 3rd Street, San Francisco\n\nFor the past few months, 
 MUNI and City police have conducted terrorizing raids at busy bus stops 
 such as the 16th and 24th BART stations. Who were the targets? Were they 
 alleged murderers or terrorists?  NO! They were the MUNI passengers who the 
 authorities believed needed to be monitored for their compliance with the 
 $2 fare.  These “saturation” raids are conducted by 20 MUNI ticketers 
 and SFPD officers, all well paid and fully benefited, demanding proof of 
 payment of the poor, the families, and the workers, many of whom are 
 struggling to bring home a humble $80 to their homes.\nIf people don’t 
 have $2, how can they be expected to pay for an $80 ticket?!  \nThanks to 
 the current depression, communities throughout the country is facing a 
 massive loss in jobs, housing, education opportunities, and social 
 services.  Here in San Francisco, we continue to see a rise in MUNI fares, 
 in parking tickets, and in police presence, but there is no rise in jobs, 
 in public services, or even in MUNI transit lines.  The real “SAFETY” 
 of the working class and oppressed communities in San Francisco and 
 throughout the country lies in access to JOBS, HEALTHCARE, PUBLIC SERVICES, 
 and EDUCATION!  Not in the criminalization of the poor and working families 
 who can’t afford to pay a daily 5% tax for transportation to get to 
 work.\nBeing poor is not a crime! \nStop MUNI “saturation” 
 raids!\n\nStand Up! Call MORE Public Transit at 415-864-8372 or 
 415-821-6545\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2010/07/26/18654715.php
