Thank you so much for your ongoing support of Oakland Public Library and Measure C, which will be on our June 7 ballot. Below is a short list of key messaging on specific dates related to the campaign. If you could share info about Measure C on these dates, that would be immensely helpful. In every message you share, please include the following points:
Measure C is on the June 7 ballot.
Measure C RENEWS Measure Q, which voters approved in 2004, with NO increase in tax rate.
Measure C will extend/renew funding that comprises about 40 PERCENT OF OPL'S OPERATING BUDGET. If it fails, we face reduced hours and an unknown number of closed branches.
We have a desperate need for phonebank volunteers from now through June 7.
