Summer of LOVE
Save the Summer of Love 50th Anniversary concert from cancellation by the City of San Francisco Park and Rec Department which refuses to allow a permit to the PEOPLE. This is a community grassroots event organized by volunteers years in the planning. Larger corporate events, which pay large fees are given permits -- the commons are for the people and we demand access!
Why is this important?
I attended my first community organizing meeting for the 50th Anniversary of Summer of Love three years ago -- a grassroots and volunteer led effort to come together in celebration of a cultural shift towards peace, love and understanding. City commons are for the people, and to refuse us a permit because we are not a large professional event corporation is wrongful.
