Meet at:
United Nation’s Plaza
50 United Nations
SF
On March 15th, more than one million of our children marched worldwide to demand action on climate change. They told us we cannot carry on living as we have been living – and they are right…
We are Extinction Rebellion, and we declare that when our children call us to action, we will answer!
Join us on April 15th to rise up for a living future. We will not gather to beg our leaders to care. We will gather to declare that change is coming, whether our governments like it or not. This is an emergency and it’s time we all started acting like it, adults included
BRING:
– As many additional people as possible.
– Noisemakers of every variety
Extinction Rebellion is a 100% non-violent civil disobedience movement aimed at nothing less than radical system change

Wednesday, April 17
4. Wednesday, 1:00pm – 4:00pm, City Budget Hearing on Housing & Homelessness
SF City Hall (room to be determined)
1 Dr. Carleton B. Goodlett Pl
SF
There will be presentations by the Budget & Legislative Analyst, the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development, and the Dept. of Homelessness and Supportive Housing.
A budget is a moral document which reflects where our city’s values lie — and San Francisco spends less than 3% of its budget on homelessness.
Join us to advocate for services and housing for the most vulnerable communities of SF at the budget hearing with the Homeless Emergency Service Providers Association (HESPA), a coalition of 27 homeless service providers.

5. Friday, 3:30pm – 5:30pm, Stop the Next Wildfire Now!
Meet at:
Justin Herman Plaza
1 Market St.
SF
FIRE season is beginning! Who’s next?
Nothing has changed since last year’s catastrophic wildfires.
PG&E is still in charge of the electrical grid, even though it has been responsible for 17 recent fires that killed dozens of people and endangered all Californians’ health.
PG&E gave $4.5 billion in dividends to shareholders in the last 5 years, $0 to Camp Fire victims, and $204,800 to Gov. Newsom’s gubernatorial campaign.
California can do better. We can take our power back from a corporation that values profits more than our lives, our health, and our planet. We can create a California Green New Deal, providing good jobs building a clean, safe, carbon-zero, publicly owned power grid.
