East Bay May Pizza Social: Swag Pickup and Signature Gathering at Downtown Berkeley Farmers Market
Pick up your Swag Rewards while enjoying pizza and refreshments with fellow signature gatherers and volunteers—and pick up May petitions, while you're at it! Hats, tees, pins, framed maps, and hoodies will all be available at this event for pickup. See below for more on swag rewards.
We will meet at 10am at Civic Center Park for a quick training and to hand out petition supplies. After that, head out to start collecting signatures in the area.
If you are just getting started gathering signatures with us, it is recommended (but not required) for you to read this training guide then complete this form before stopping by, as that makes it faster to set you up to gather.
Either way, please RSVP so we can send you any updates before or during the event, and to help us bring enough supplies and pizza.
Gathering signatures earns you swag rewards!
We have a "Fund the Bus" hat (for 50 signatures), an "I Get Around" tee (125), a set of seven Transit Vehicle Character pins (250), a Framed Map of Bay Area Transit (500), and an "I Get Around" hoodie (1000).
Stay tuned for an email to let you know when you've earned your next milestone reward. And yes--if you turn in enough signatures at any Swag Pickup event to qualify for the next reward, you can go home with your item that day!

To avoid devastating Bay Area transit service cuts, we need to gather over 200,000 signatures to get Connect Bay Area Transit, the five-county regional transit funding measure, on the ballot. Learn more at connectbayarea.com.
No experience necessary. You just need to be 18 years old to gather signatures. If you're under 18, let us know at connectbayarea26@gmail.com as there are many ways to be involved and help!
