[Sustain] Call SF City Hall To Save Mass Transit!

[Eric Brooks]

(Please forward this message widely to all San Franciscans you know who
care about creating a better future through improved mass transit.)

PHONE-IN DAY ALERT

Save San Francisco Mass Transit!
Call Supervisor Sophie Maxwell now!

Earlier this month the Municipal Transportation Authority (MTA) proposed
a budget which drastically raises Muni fares while heavily cutting
service. As a result, San Franciscans riding Muni will shoulder a burden
that is 4 times higher than all parking and enforcement fee increases in
the same proposed budget.

Meanwhile, the MTA coffers have been bilked by over $60 million in
service order charges from other City departments, to pay for work that
those departments should be doing anyway without charging the MTA
anything! Those funds could go to creating a world class transit system
if the Board of Supervisors votes to reject the budget and demand
accountability.

Tomorrow, Tuesday May 19, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors will
vote on whether to reject this deeply flawed MTA budget.

Supervisor Sophie Maxwell has been identified as the key swing vote on
this issue and needs to hear from you!

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

Call Supervisor Sophie Maxwell today at:
415-554-7670
with the following message:

"Please reject the MTA budget until it recovers enough service order
funds and parking fees to get rid of all Muni fare increases and service
cuts."

(If you get a recording, or you are calling after business hours, just
leave your comment as a voice mail message.)

THEN:

SHOW UP AT TODAY'S TRANSIT JUSTICE RALLY, TO DEMAND A BETTER MUNI BUDGET!

Monday, May 18, 3pm, SF City Hall, Polk Street Steps

DIRECTIONS:

To get to the rally, go to the San Francisco Civic Center transit
station at 8th and Market Streets and cross United Nations Plaza to City
Hall (on Polk Street between Grove and McAllister).

Thanks as always for your action and support.

peace
