Dear CVPPAC Members,

We are in a close fight with the mayor to prevent the privatization of the city thrash collection. We have two urgent activities coming up where we need CVPPAC members to help out.

First, we need you to come to the meeting this Saturday at 3:30 PM at the Center for Non-violence 1584 N Van Ness. We will vote on giving financial assistance to the “No on G” campaign, but we must have a quorum. Simone, the Coordinator for the campaign will give us an update at this meeting.

We will also vote on a by-law change that will enable us to add a Membership Chair to the Executive Board. This change comes out of our strategic planning process that identified membership growth as a key activity to meeting our goals of electing a progressive majority on local governing bodies in 2014 and beyond.

And also, please make time in your busy schedule to come out and help on the “No on G” campaign. Many of our members have already stepped up to work phone banks, walk precincts, and make financial contributions. And we are well on the way to having the commitments we need to reach our goal of 100 volunteer shifts/or contributions!!! If you have not yet volunteered or made a contribution, please take the time to fill out the pledge form below and email in back to me.

We are making amazing progress in increasing our impact in local elections, and making our progressive voice heard.

SI SE PUEDE!!!

Pam Whalen
President CVPPAC (559) 994-9390
