*Event! Getting 50 Percent Local Clean Energy In 10 Years!*

Next Tuesday! Learn how San Francisco (as well as Berkeley, Oakland, Marin
and Sonoma) can be powered on 50% clean electricity within the next decade;
and at the same or lower rates than PG&E!

WHAT: Harvey Milk Club Clean Energy Forum
WHEN: Tuesday March 2nd, 6:45pm
WHERE: SF LGBT Community Center 1800 Market St @ Octavia (4th Floor
Ceremonial Room)
TRANSIT: From SF Civic Center take historic 'F Line' street car to Market &
Octavia
WHO: Former State Senator Carole Migden, Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi,
Supervisor David Campos, Sierra Club's John Rizzo, and others
COST: FREE!
BACKGROUND: In July 2007 the San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously
passed an ordinance establishing the Clean Power SF project in San
Francisco.

Clean Power SF will gather San Francisco electricity consumers together in a
cooperative that will use our collective buying power to build enough solar,
wind and efficiency projects to run the City on 50% clean, renewable energy
within the next decade. And because renewables and efficiency save money
compared to fossil fuel power, our electricity rates will be kept low and
stable. Similar projects in the East Bay, Marin and Sonoma are also getting
underway and need a strong San Francisco program to anchor Bay Area clean
energy efforts.

But the private monopoly PG&E corporation wants to kill this new clean
energy program and force us all to stay addicted to its dirty and expensive
fossil and nuclear power. PG&E is attacking Clean Power SF with millions of
dollars of negative advertising and ballot campaigns. Over the next weeks
and months, PG&E will be using these deceptive campaigns to try to trick San
Francisco electricity consumers into opting out of Clean Power SF.

Come to the Clean Energy Forum next Tuesday to learn about this
groundbreaking new program and how you and fellow Bay Area residents can
stay in it and keep it strong!

The Rwanda Greens need international support, as do all the Rwandan
opposition parties, now in coalition. Amnesty International has joined Human
Rights Watch in calling for an end to attacks on the opposition.
