SAN FRANCISCO, 1996-San Fran -ciscans have witnessed many changes over the last 10 years.
Skyrocketing rents have been stabilized through strict rent-control laws, thus providing much more housing at affordable prices. There are now more and better schools for our children, and childcare is available free of charge. Downtown traffic and air quality have improved since public transportation was upgraded and made free for all. Quality healthcare is provided free for anyone who needs it. The war budget has been abolished and money has been given to find a cure for AIDS and to feed and shelter the hungry and homeless.
Of course it is not 1996 and these changes have yet to take place. But that is what Socialist Action's campaign to elect Sylvia Weinstein to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors is all about-to mobilize to make this future a reality.
Weinstein's campaign says that working people can and must organize themselves into a politically independent party, a labor party based on the unions, that will represent their interests. Weinstein's campaign offers San Francisco voters an alternative to voting for the Democrats and Republicans-those who are responsible for the attacks on working people.
Sylvia Weinstein is a long-time activist in the women's movement and the socialist movement. She has been a member of the National Organization for Women (NOW) since 1973 and served on its San Francisco executive board from 1975 until 1982. She is active in the Reproductive Rights Committee of NOW and helped to build the March for Women's Lives in March of this year.
Weinstein is a leading proponent of expanding public childcare and served on the Childcare Initiative Task Force and the Health and Childcare Committee of the Commission on the Status of Women. She also served on the Children's Center Expansion Committee of the school district, which helped get increased funding for childcare on the heels of the passage of the Childcare Initiative.
Weinstein has organized several solidarity campaigns for workers on strike here in San Francisco and around the world, including Polish Solidarity. She is active in the struggles against U.S. intervention in Central America and against U.S. ties to apartheid in South Africa.
She has been a socialist since 1945. She is now a columnist for Socialist Action newspaper and a founding member of Socialist Action. A vote for her is a vote of protest against government by and for the rich and for a government by and for the working people.
