Numerous citizen groups are holding a rally at the event and we need your presence to say no to offshore oil and yes to renewable energy.
In addition, if you would like to get more involved, there will be a pre-rally at the Sports Basement (1590 Bryant Street, San Francisco) on Wednesday, April 15 from 6 -9 PM.
