Please join former San Francisco superviosr Matt Gonzalez and Nirvana’s bassist Krist Novoselic in supporting the exciting campaign in Oakland for Instant Runoff Voting/Measure O.

When: Thursday, October 19, 5:30-8 pm
Where: Law office of Gonzalez & Leigh, Two Shaw Alley, San Francisco, 415.512.2000

This November, Oakland voters will vote on Measure O, which will follow San Francisco's lead and establish instant runoff voting for Oakland's local elections. This is a really important campaign. Not only is Oakland important in and of itself, but also as part of the overall effort to spread IRV to all of California. Another city joining San Francisco, Burlington, VT, as well as the states of North Carolina, Louisiana and Arkansas that are using IRV for certain races, helps spread the word. In addition to Oakland, Instant Runoff Voting is also on the ballot in Davis, CA, Minneapolis, and Pierce County/Tacoma, WA. So Oakland is a MUST WIN situation.

Our next volunteer meeting is this Saturday, Oct 7th, 10:30 to 12:30 at the Rockridge Library, 5366 College Ave. Come to sign up for new gigs, get more literature or signs to distribute, or see what else you can do to help. ABSENTEE BALLOTS ARE MAILED on OCT. 8, so this is a really important time in our campaign. WE NEED YOU MORE THAN EVER. WHATEVER YOUR TALENTS ARE, WE CAN USE THEM!! For more information, call Judy Cox 595-7402. Or, come to the meeting and meet other folks who care about spreading democracy in Oakland.
