Four SF Supes Needed to Stand Up to Lennar- Contact Supes Now!

> ¡¡¡URGENT ACTION ALERT FROM POWER!!!
>
> POWER and the Stop Lennar Action Movement need your help...—RIGHT NOW.
>
> Call or email Board of Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval
> TODAY
> and urge him to sponsor Affordable Housing Initiative!
>
> Lennar is placing an initiative on the ballot to get control of 700
> more acres of land in Bayview Hunters Point. You might recognize
> Lennar as the developer who is currently poisoning children, elderly
> and low-income families in Bayview Hunters Point.
>
> In response, POWER and the Stop Lennar Action Movement are
> attempting to place our own initiative on the ballot to block
> Lennar’s efforts. Specifically, our initiative would require that
> 50% of the planned 8,500 to 10,000 housing units that Lennar would
> build be affordable to SF residents. Of those units, our initiative
> would require that at least 1/3 be affordable at 30% AMI, 1/3 be
> affordable at 60%AMI, and 1/3 be available to 80% AMI. This would
> be a landmark decision, opening up TRULY affordable housing to
> working class San Francisco.
>
> We need 4 supervisors to sign on to sponsor this initiative in order
> for it to qualify for the June 2008 election. However, 2 of the 4
> supervisors who were with us are now being pressured by Lennar NOT
> to sign the initiative. These supervisors have stood with us
> before, demanding accountability for Lennar, but when the heat is
> turned up,
> THE SILENCE IS DEAFENING.
>
> Call or email Sandoval RIGHT NOW!

> Call these Supervisors RIGHT NOW and urge them to sponsor the
