RSVP: info@swcoalition.org Talk with Oaklanders about the CENSUS and Real Solutions to the STATE’S BUDGET CRISIS Start: 5:30 pm End: 8:30 pm We want to make sure that our community is counted in this year’s Census because it affects how much federal funding our city receives. It could make the difference between getting or losing a school, health clinic, senior center or job-placement center. California is facing a $20 billion budget shortfall. Our tax and budgeting system is over 30 years old and hasn’t kept up with changing economic and political conditions. We’ll be asking Oaklanders about solutions to this budget crisis. Issues like split-roll taxes and the 2/3 budget majority will be voted on within the next few years. Help make sure that Oakland residents are informed and engaged in critical issues facing our city and state!
