DESCRIPTION:[[ Today Wednesday (or Thursday morning): Please Help Collect Signatures to 
 Save Albany's Gill Tract for Urban Farming! ]]\n\n--- Please Volunteer a 
 Couple of Hours anytime Today (Wednesday), or on Thursday morning! 
 ----\n\nTwo Albany groups, Keep Albany Local and the Albany Farm Alliance, 
 are working to guarantee the preservation of agricultural land at the 
 Albany Gill Tract and halt the development of a super sized Whole Foods 
 store and senior medical care facility with no affordable senior housing. 
 They are working to put a referendum on the ballot in Albany and put the 
 vote of a development agreement between the City of Albany and UC Berkeley 
 to the people. The present agreement approved by the Albany City Council 
 has no guarantee in it of setting aside land at the Gill Tract for 
 agricultural use. One strategy for guaranteeing the preservation of a 
 portion of this agricultural land for supporting local food production 
 through urban farming is putting a halt to this agreement and allowing the 
 process determining the Gill Tract land use to be transparent and 
 democratic.\n\nWe are asking Albany voters to sign this petition for a 
 referendum and for people (regardless of where you live) to come and help 
 collect signatures over the next 1 1/2 days. We need to collect several 
 hundred more signatures.\n\nTO HELP COLLECT SIGNATURES (and/or sign the 
 petition), please go to: Whole Health Apothecary at 1227 Solano (at Talbot) 
 anytime between 9:00 am and 7:00 pm on Wednesday, 8/15 (or between 9:00 am 
 and 1:00 pm on Thursday, 8/16). Our deadline to turn in the petitions is 
 Thursday afternoon, so if possible, please help out today, Wednesday! Thank 
 you!\n\n\nFor more
