DESCRIPTION:SOLIDARITY STAND for Oakland Public Libraries, including the wonderful 
 African American Museum and Library TONITE, Thursday, May 26th 5:00pm at 
 Oakland City Hall, Budget & City Council Meeting, 1 Frank Ogawa Plaza 
 between 14th & 15th St - one block from 12th St BART!\n\nSix years ago we 
 fought - and won - the closing of public libraries in Salinas by doing a 24 
 hour Read-In at the Cesar Chavez Library.\n\nNow, the mayor of Oakland is 
 proposing to save the city money by closing most of the Oakland 
 libraries.\n\nWe MUST stand tonite at the Budget and City Council meetings 
 to DEMAND NO CUTS, TAX the RICH and NO MORE $$$ for WARS!\n\nThe city of 
 Oakland has contributed over 1.5 BILLION dollars for wars; if the richest 
 400 people in California were taxed at a more fair rate of 26% (less than 
 most of us are taxed), the state would have $12 BILLION dollars a year! The 
 Oakland libraries need a mere $10 million!\n\nThe financial cost to support 
 the libraries are a mere 2% of the entire Oakland general fund; yet the 
 proposed cuts represent 52% of all city job losses.\n\nEven during the 
 'great' depression, libraries did NOT close! We MUST - and can - keep our 
 libraries open!\n\nGather on the steps of City Hall by 5:00pm! Look for the 
 HOT PINK!\n\np.s. if anyone can contribute $$$ for flyers, materials, 
 and/or black latex paint, PLEASE do!!!! 510-540-7007\n\n \n\n\n
