AMBIVALENT SAN FRANCISCO DROPOUT -> VOTE NOVEMBER 5th!
——————————————————
if you are registered to vote, then dudes… you gotta
get out and vote. don’t slack. our activity is what
makes san francisco such a special place to live. here
are some voter stats in sf that I think are interesting.
we have one of the highest registered voter populations
in the country, though we are terrible at actually
showing up to vote. I recall about a fourth of us
actually showed up to vote in the last election. voting
is one very powerful and specific way of seeing our
values reflected in public policy. plus… it’s fun!
so… find your polling place
