Support SF Day Laborers at 10/17 Planning Commission Meeting

DEAR FRIENDS AND ALLIES OF SAN FRANCISCO DAY LABORERS:

WE HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED TO THE FINAL, AND MOST IMPORTANT, STEP IN OBTAINING
THE BUILDING ON CESAR CHAVEZ STREET FOR THE SF DAY LABOR PROGRAM : THE
PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING!!

As you know, San Francisco day laborers and the SF Day Labor Program have
struggled for many years to move out of its portable trailers and into a
building on Cesar Chavez St. Despite much opposition by a small group of
loud "nimby" neighbors, and the Mayor's Office, we finally signed a lease
for 3358 Cesar Chavez St. (between Mission and So. VanNess). The Planning
Commission has finally given us a hearing date in order to obtain the
necessary permits to start construction and move in.

Our opponents will attend this hearing in full force (For those of you who
have participated in other day laborer community hearings, you know that
this one will be just as contentious, racially charged and offensive). WE
NEED YOU TO COME TO THE HEARING AND SUPPORT THE DAY LABOR PROGRAM'S MOVE TO
CESAR CHAVEZ STREET!!!

WHEN: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, HEARING STARTS AT 1:30, TESTIMONY WILL
PROBABLY BEGIN NO EARLIER THAN 2:30.

WHERE: SF CITY HALL, ROOM 400

Please RSVP to Renee Saucedo by email or by calling (415) 553-3404 so we
know how many supporters will be present and how many of you wish to
testify.
