Vallejo Launches Community Partnership Opportunity for PB Vote
From September 27 to October 6, all Vallejo residents over the age of 16 will have the opportunity to vote on how to spend $2.4 million in the second cycle of Participatory Budgeting (PB).
As the Vote approaches, the City of Vallejo invites Vallejo organizations, schools, community leaders and residents to join the Get Out the Vote (GOTV) Network.
A coalition of volunteers, GOTV Network members, will raise PB awareness together in an effort to increase voter turnout.
As a member of the GOTV Network, organizations will receive perks, including: access to the vote results celebration party on October 7th; exclusive PB promotional items; advance notice of PB events; and, recognition on the PB website; recognition at project expos (events to be held on 9/27, 9/30, 10/2 and 10/5 where residents can learn about projects on the ballot and vote)
The PB GOTV Network launch party and training will be held on Tuesday, August 26 at the Filipino Community Center located at 611 Amador Street from 6pm to 8pm. I

Oakland Post Endorses Barbara Lee
Barbara Lee will be able to unify the city around Oakland’s critical budget and financial issues, since she will walk into the mayor’s office with the support of a super majority of seven city council members — enabling her to achieve much-needed consensus on moving Oakland into a successful future.
As we end the celebration of Women’s History Month in Oakland, we endorse Barbara Lee, a woman of demonstrated historical significance. In our opinion, she has the best chance of uniting the city and achieving our needs for affordable housing, public safety, and fiscal accountability.
As a former small business owner, Barbara Lee understands how to apply tools needed to revitalize Oakland’s downtown, uptown, and neighborhood businesses.
Barbara Lee will be able to unify the city around Oakland’s critical budget and financial issues, since she will walk into the mayor’s office with the support of a super majority of seven city council members — enabling her to achieve much-needed consensus on moving Oakland into a successful future.
It is notable that many of those who fought politically on both sides of the recent recall election battles have now laid down their weapons and become brothers and sisters in support of Barbara Lee. The Oakland Post is pleased to join them.
