 *******************************************************  SOCIAL STRIKE 
 UPDATE:  When MUNI told us it was going to raise our fares 20%, cut our 
 service 7%,  and get rid of 10% of their workforce, we said HELL NO! On 
 September 1, when  they raised our fares, we began a direct action, and 
 thousands of us have  been on a social strike since, which means we keep 
 riding and driving MUNI,  but we refuse to pay or collect fares until our 
 demands are met – until MUNI  returns to the previous staffing and 
 service levels, and the fare is set back  to $1.25.  As MUNI’s puts its 
 service cuts into effect TODAY, September 24, it is  feeling the hurt. 
 Despite raising fares 20%, it’s take at the farebox has  remained flat to 
 down for the first half of September. The strike is having  an effect, and 
 more and more people are noticing too! On Thursday we held a  united press 
 conference against these service cuts. Among the speakers at  our press 
 conference were representatives from the Coalition for Transit  Justic, 
 Muni Fare Strike, Social Strike, POWER, POOR  Magazine/PoorNewsNetwork, St. 
 Peter's Housing Committee, Gray Panthers,  Mission Agenda, HOMEY, Women's 
 Collective, La Raza Centro Legal, Chinese  Progressive Association, Mujeres 
 Unidas, SF Day Labor Program. Get involved  and let’s keep raising the 
 pressure on MUNI!  visit http://www.socialstrike.net for more information,
