A chance to Learn and then to Act

For those in PD-Marin. Two issues that we have taken a stand on are featured at this months MPJC program

Monday, March 1
Marin Peace & Justice Coalition

Special Event:
6:00 PM Pot Luck
7:15 PM Program

Petitioning for Water and Democracy
Two Ballot Initiatives:
Opposing Desalinization in Marin,
and Favoring the California Democracy Act

Get on board with signature gatherers working for upcoming ballot initiatives.
The "Responsible Water Initiative" gives residents of Marin Municipal Water District the right to vote on whether or not to build a controversial desalinization plant. The desal plant is now being fast-tracked by the MMWD Board.
Adam Scow from Food and Water Watch will speak.
Zhenya Spake will facilitate a discussion and role play on the art of petitioning.

Also, a speaker promoting the California Democracy Act will cover this important initiative to change the state constitution: "All legislative actions on revenue and budget must be determined by a majority vote." This would end gridlock of state spending, etc. Let's do it!
