Hopefully, someone will brief Cheri about the Prop D campaign to
increase the minimum wage in San Jose.  If voters approve it, 40,000
workers will see an increase in pay. Members of the San Jose Chamber of
Commerce have pledged to spend $1.5 million to defeat the initiative.
Prop D is an important step towards increasing the minimum wage statewide.

I am hosting a fund raising party for the Prop D campaign at the same
time - Sunday, October 21st from 6 to 7:30.  Assemblyman Tom Ammiano and
SF Supervisor John Avalos will be attending.  Let me know if you would
like to attend or need more information.

     *Fighting for our Future!*
     *Lifelong anti-poverty activist and current Green Party candidate
     for Vice President Cheri Honkala will speak in San Jose on Sunday
     evening, October 21.  She will talk with the audience during a hip
     hop concert from 6 to 8 pm at Silicon Valley De-Bug Community
     Center, 701 Lenzen Avenue in San Jose.*
     The concert will feature Metafizix, Rahman Jamaal, DLabrie, and
     Shamako Noble.  Admission is free but donations will be requested.
     Cheri Honkala is director of the Poor People's Economic Human Rights
     Campaign.  She has fought for housing for everyone ever since her
     experience as a homeless mother in Minnesota in the 1980s.  Recently
     she has become a nationally recognized leader in the fight to resist
     foreclosures.
     The two major parties today are promising NOTHING in this election,
     and instead each one accuses the other of being worse.  In fact BOTH
     of them propose to scale back spending on housing, health care,
     education, and Social Security at the very time when we need these
     programs more than ever. Their only disagreement is over how fast to
     do it.
     The Green Party ticket of Jill Stein and Cheri Honkala is advancing
     a positive vision called the *Green New Deal*.  The Green New Deal
     projects a 1930s-style jobs program to restore our schools and
     universities, transit systems, health care delivery, and environment
     (see http://www.jillstein.org <http://www.jillstein.org/>).
     The burning question today is not lesser evils, but the basic
     direction for our country.  Instead of bipartisan bank bailouts,
     let's invest our national resources in a better world for our
     children.  Instead of holding hunger games, let's build a moral
     society based on the spiritual values of love and community.
     Voting Green in California is part of a long term strategy to build
     a viable third party for the future.  A strong Green Party vote
     today lays the foundation for the battle in the days ahead.
