SAVE THE DAY! NOV. 7! TWITTER IPO DAY!
On the Day of Twitter’s Début in the Stock Market,
Protest their theft of $56 million in City Revenue.
Protest Their Part in Jacking Up Rents Out of Reach.
Be There! Thursday, November 7, 12 Noon
Twitter Building, 1355 Market (at 10th Street)

We invite you, your organization and members to join to rally and demonstrate against Twitter and all of the tech companies who are prospering in the backs of San Franciscans. (Flyer will follow, but please spread the word now.)
On November 7th, Twitter (one of the big tech companies in SF and the dictator of the Payroll Tax Exemption ordinance) will publicly sell its Initial Public Offerings, IPOs, on the NY Stock Exchange. They expect to make a killing of billions off this latest tech bubble.
For Twitter, for the high-tech industry, for the real-estate business, and for big busi-ness’s highly-paid servants in City Hall, this is a day of celebration, almost like an English coronation. For us, who are having our City services cut and are being thrown out of our homes, this should be day of anger and public demonstrations. Rather than have our noses rubbed in this crap, let’s fling it back!
With Twitter alone, the City is losing about $56 million of revenue dollars (doubled to what the City projected in 2011) that could go towards public services like childcare, clinics, after-school programs, City College, free MUNI fast-passes for all youth. This does NOT include tax payers, actual spending on the Twitter bus that was allocated from the MTA budget to transport Twitter employees "safely and conveniently" from their office building to the CalTrain station and the increase police foot traffic around their building. The once vibrant, diverse and affordable City we love and had defended for decades is now displacing poor, low-income, middle class, professionals and workers because our City officials had priorities companies needs/greed before people.
