Help us get the word out to voters and help pass Prop C in November!
Prop C (the Children and Families First Initiative) is a powerful piece of legislation that would re-approve both the Children & Youth Fund AND the Public Education & Enrichment Fund, together amounting to more than $125 million in services for children, youth and families in San Francisco! This funding means that we have child care, afterschool programs, youth jobs, violence prevention programs, family support centers, and school-based programs for the young people and families who rely on them!
Two great ways to get involved:
Speakers Bureau Training
Thursday, September 18th, 5:30-7pm @ LYRIC, 127 Collingwood Street
Calling youth, parents, and community members who want to join the Prop C Speakers Bureau! It’s powerful for voters and SF residents to hear directly from the youth, parents, and community providers who are so closely connected to the programs funded through Prop C. We will train you on the basics of Prop C as well as how to present about Prop C in front of a group! If you join the Speakers Bureau, there will be opportunities for you to be a Prop C spokesperson at endorsement meetings, informational meetings, and visibility events!
There is a paid stipend opportunity for youth/parents who join the Speakers Bureau.
Light dinner will be provided RSVP to Sara Ferree: sferree@colemanadvocates.org.
Volunteer to Drop Literature for Prop C!
Starting in September, we will be hanging door hangers in neighborhoods across San Francisco, every weekend, to spread the word about the importance of Prop C, and makes sure that this measure passes in November—and we need your help! Each day we will be focusing on a precinct walk in a different neighborhood—please contact me if you are willing to volunteer in distributing literature in your neighborhood!
Saturday, September 20th, 10am: Mission The group is meeting at 24th and Harrison.
Saturday, September 27th, 10am: District 7 The group is meeting at Greenhouse Cafe on 329 West Portal Ave.
More details on other neighborhoods coming soon!! To get involved, please contact Sara Ferree: sferree@colemanadvocates.org.
