URGENT - Call SF Supervisors & Moblize for Aug 7 - 4:30 Hearing

Richmond District residents and businesses are mobilizing to oppose another Starbucks in our Neighborhood for the Tuesday August 7 SF Board of Supervisors meeting at City Hall where they will discuss and vote on an appeal of the SF Planning Commission's granting of a conditional use permit to Starbucks for Geary and 4th Avenue.

Author of the 'Block Starbucks' petition Brian Mckeon says that speakers should try to arrive before 4:30 and encourages anyone to speak out at the meeting as well. Thousands of signed petitions will be presented to the Supervisors at the meeting.

The Appeal was brought by longtime Richmond District small business owner Jesse Fink, owner of Toy Boat Dessert Cafe on Clement @ 5th Avenue. Fink is a leader of the Clement Street Merchants Association.

Please join us on Tuesday August 7th for the hearing. We need everyone that can make it to show up in force.
