¡Stop Raising the MUNI Fare! Rally on Wednesday

While city politicians pick the pockets of Muni riders, they give away hundreds of dollars in corporate welfare to downtown companies like the Bank of America, Chevron Texaco, Bechtel, PG&E and the Chronicle. Downtown corporate interests needs MUNI to get employees and customers to its doorsteps. They should pick up the tab.

United Families is a project to advocate for families living in SRO hotels; we are working with Transit Justice to organize our communities to stop the fare hike. We believe that it is possible to stop the fare hike because it has happened in the past; in 1999, the Bus Riders Union in Los Angeles organized a fare strike that beat a proposed fare hike and pressured the LA MTA to buy buses to reduce overcrowding.

We can win, because if riders refuse to pay, the city will have to keep the buses running anyway.

Working people, students, seniors and the disabled depend on Muni. Together, we can stop the fare hike.
