DESCRIPTION:2/19/24 Press Release On Shutting Down Waymo’s On Streets Of SF & 
 California\nRally Against Robo Taxis\n\nWhat: \nPress Conference In San 
 Francisco Chinatown To Demand The Shutdown of Waymo On The Streets Of San 
 Francisco And California.\n\nWhen:  \n12/19/24 Monday 12:00 pm 
 Noon\n\nWhere:\nChinatown 750 Kearny St. under Bridge Between Portsmouth 
 Square and SF Chinatown Hilton\nSan Francisco\n\n\nWho:\nNetwork For Safety 
 In Our Streets & For Working People\n\n\nWaymo’s Off Our Streets-Safety 
 First For The People Of San Francisco & California\n\n\nOn Monday February 
 19, 2024 San Francisco residents, safety advocates, trade unionists and 
 workers will hold a press conference to demand that all Waymo autonomous 
 driverless vehicle be immediately removed from the streets.\n\nDespite the 
 reckless action of the GM owned Cruise robo car company to violate the DMV 
 rules in San Francisco and cover up the accident that dragged a pedestrian 
 more than 20 feet, Governor Newsom’s DMV and CPUC continue to allow these 
 driverless vehicles on the streets of San Francisco and they want to allow 
 them to go to the peninsula and SFO.\n\nThe criminal cover-up of the 
 accident by Cruise has also been unprotected by Governor Newsom’s 
 supporter San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins. If a pedestrian 
 tried to cover up the records of their accident they would be charged 
 criminally yet SF DA Brooke Jenkins refuses to prosecute the executives of 
 Cruise who were responsible for this criminal negligence and reckless 
 behavior.\n\nThe recent attack and burning of a $200,000 Waymo robo taxi in 
 Chinatown  is a reflection of the growing anger and disgust that the people 
 of San Francisco have for this threat to their health and safety by a 
 governor that does not care what the people have to say about these 
 driverless vehicles and instead is only listening to Google and his 
 corporate funders.\n\nGoogle owned Waymo like GM owned  Cruise also have 
 been allowed to violate the the DMV rules by Governor Newsom’s DMV and 
 CPUC. They have said that these vehicles if they violate DMV driving rules 
 will not be held accountable and no tickets will be issued.\n\nSpeakers 
 will address Governor Newsom’s flagrant violation of DMV rules by his 
 hand picked CPUC and his appointed director of the DMV. These agencies 
 continue to be allowed other regulate themselves despite the dangers to the 
 public.\n\nNewsom also vetoed a bill by the State Legislature to limit the 
 autonomous driverless trucks over 10,000 pounds on the highways and streets 
 of California. He has taken over $10 million from Google and apparently 
 takes his orders from the tech billionaires rather than the people of 
 California.\n\nEnough is Enough. We cannot afford another catastrophe by 
 these vehicles.\n\nNetwork For Safety In Our Streets & For Working
