 America’s Addiction to Oil!  Jumpstart Ford and Declare Energy 
 Independence!  Rally at Opening Day of San Francisco Auto Show    When: 
 12:00 Noon – 1:30 p.m., Sunday, November 21      Where: San Francisco 
 Auto Show, SF Moscone Center, 747 Howard      What: Rally, Leafleting and 
 Street Theater Calling on Ford Motor Company to Break America’s Oil 
 Addiction     Who: Global Exchange, Rainforest Action Network, Bluewater 
 Network, SF Bike Coalition, Amazon Watch, Circle of Life, and YOU.    The 
 United States is addicted to oil. Although less than 5 percent of the 
 world’s population, we consume 25 percent of the world’s oil. This 
 dependence on oil endangers our environment, weakens our economy, and 
 undermines our national security.      The quickest way to break our oil 
 habit is by challenging Ford Motor Company to take immediate action to 
 dramatically increase the fuel economy of its cars. According to the US 
 EPA, Ford is the worst gas-guzzler in the auto industry, falling last place 
 in fuel economy rankings for five years in a row.      A great place to 
 challenge Ford is at the wildly popular SF Auto Show. Attended by hundreds 
 of thousands of people, the show is a critical venue for Ford to promote 
 its products.      When it comes to making sensible, fuel-efficient 
 vehicles, Ford has have very little to brag about. And that means the auto 
 shows offer a fantastic opportunity for concerned citizens to raise public 
 awareness about the very real costs of our oil addiction.      WHAT YOU CAN 
 DO:  1) Come to the Auto Show rally on Sunday, Nov. 21 and join human 
 rights activists, environmentalists, cyclists and others for a lively rally 
 calling on Ford to break America’s oil addiction. Add your voice to the 
 call for energy independence.      2) Reduce your own oil consumption by 
 biking more!  It's fun and easier than you might think.  A great way to 
 start is by taking a FREE Bike Ed class offered by the San Francisco 
 Bicycle Coalition.  For more information & class schedules, see

 our addiction to oil!           \n
