We have been exposed to weak, top-down government rule for decades
that has deeply disenfranchised the majority of San Franciscans.  It's
time to grow true local direct democracy from the ground up.  Let's
join together this coming Monday February 1st, to begin sowing the
seeds to grow that new democracy.

What: March To Super Bowl City, A Grand Opening Protest
Where: Union Square
When: Saturday, Jan 30, 11 am

Saturday January 30, 2016 is the grand opening of Mayor Lee's Super
Bowl City.  He has spent all of his energy pushing out the
homeless,disabling bus lines and creating traffic jams so that his
precious Super Bowl City can inconvenience the city of San Francisco
for two weeks.

This is energy he could have spent apologizing to Mario Woods' family,
seeking justice and acting like he actually cares about the black and
brown community in San Francisco.

Wear black.

Sponsor: Justice 4 Mario Woods Coalition
