Another East Bay is Happening!
Forum on the State Propositions: Sunday, October 14, 5:00 pm
Should progressives support Jerry Brown's tax initiative, Prop. 30? Why are some death row prisoners opposed to repealing the death penalty (Prop. 34)? Shouldn't everyone be supporting the anti- Human Trafficking proposition (Prop. 35)? Requiring genetically engineered foods to be labelled (Prop. 37) is simply obvious, right?
In association with the Green Party of Alameda County's "Green Sunday" programs, the East Bay Social Forum presents a People's Movement Assembly this coming Sunday, October 14th, featuring a a 4-person panel on the November 6 general election. The discussion will focus primarily on the state propositions -- a listing of these eleven propositions is at: http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/ballot-measures/qualified-ballot-measures.htm
