CALL TO ACTION: NO FARE HIKES! NO SERVICE CUTS!
Thursday, April 28
Meet at 7:30 AM at 16th and Mission

MUNI's directors voted last month to raise bus fares to $1.50, raise the price of Fast Passes and senior/disabled fares, AND cut back services. MUNI raised fares just a year and a half ago, but its managers still haven't been able to run the system within their budget. Now they want San Francisco bus riders to pay the costs of their own mismanagement. This fare hike amounts to a stiff new tax on the students, seniors, workers, children, immigrants and low-income people who depend on public transportation - people who are already strained by high housing costs, social service cuts and the Bush economy.

But it's not too late to stop this attack on our communities. The Board of Supervisors can override the fare hikes and service cuts - and bus riders can organize to tell City Hall that we won't pay more for less!

On Thursday, April 28, come ride the buses during the morning commute. Help us do outreach and street theater, inspire fellow riders, and stand up for our right to affordable transportation!

Meet at 16th and Mission at 7:30 AM to get plugged in - meet back in the same place at 9:15 for a rally and press conference. Also, please join us for an art-making party and street theater rehearsal on Sunday the 24th at 2 PM at Cell Space (19th and Bryant)
