This is an urgent moment in San Francisco and world history.<br>
<br>
Though nearly every major environmental and social justice group has
voiced strong opposition to the building of new fossil fuel power
plants in San Francisco; tomorrow, Monday, May 5th, our Public
Utilities
Commission (SFPUC) will outrageously seek permission to build a
polluting natural gas power plant in San Francisco within the next
year. Worse still, if approved, this plant will be built in our most
environmentally damaged and vulnerable neighborhood, the Bayview
Hunters Point. Meanwhile, new reports surface nearly every week that
the Global Warming crisis is becoming much more serious, much more
rapidly than previously believed, and our entire planet is in danger.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, Mayor Gavin Newsom and our Board of Supervisors are
wavering, and have still not come out in majority opposition to this
disastrous power plant! This means that the plant construction could be
approved as early as this week.<br>
<br>
It is absolutely critical that we turn out in huge numbers on the City
Hall Polk Street steps tomorrow, Monday May 5, from 9-10am, to show the
Mayor and Board of Supervisors that San Franciscans will not tolerate
further inaction, and that we demand that this unacceptable power plant
project be stopped immediately. We must send a message to the world
that San Francisco has decided to lead the planet into a clean energy
future by permanently halting all plans to build fossil fuel power
plants.<br>
<br>
COME TO THE RALLY!<br>
<br>
WHERE: San Francisco City Hall, Polk Street steps, (from Civic Center
BART/MUNI at 8th and Market, cross United Nations Plaza to the City
Hall steps)<br>
<br>
WHEN: Monday, May 5, 9-10am<br>
<br>
WHO: Join Our City, Sierra Club, The Ella Baker Center For Human
Rights, Greenaction, The San Francisco Green Party, Brightline Defense,
EDF, SPUR, The San Francisco Bayview, and many other groups, to demand
an end to fossil fuel plants in San Francisco.<br>
<br>
BRING SIGNS!: If you can take a moment, also make your own sign that
expresses how you feel about this alarming power plant project and its

San Francisco and the planet!<br>
<br>
ATTEND THE HEARING: Directly following the rally, The Government Audit

contract. Attend this hearing and voice your opinion to the Board of
Supervisors.<br>
