SF Rising Alliance Volunteer Mobilization for Props G & 47
When: Saturday 11/1, 10-2pm
Where: Filipino Community Center: 4681 Mission Street
Prop G will push back on one of the strongest driving forces of gentrification and displacement in San Francisco, speculation. It will stop serial evictors by requiring investors who “flip” (quick purchase & re-sale for huge profits) multi-unit properties in less than 5 years to pay higher taxes on the re-sale. That’s why Prop G was the policy chosen by the hundreds of renters and tenants rights activists who participated in the first City-Wide Tenant Convention, this past February. Vote yes on Prop G.
 Prop 47 is a step towards addressing the unjust mass incarceration of poor communities and people of color. Prop 47 reduces penalties from felonies to misdemeanors for those who have not committed violent or serious crimes. As a result, it will reduce the state’s prison population allowing California to direct hundreds of millions in prison savings per year to K-12 education, victim services, and mental health and drug treatment programs. It will also reduce barriers to employment and housing for formerly incarcerated individuals charged of petty crimes. Vote yes on Prop 47.
