Signature Gathering at Tulip Day at Union Square in San Francisco
On Tulip Day, 80,000 free tulips attract thousands of Bay Area residents to Union Square, where they will queue all morning until gates open in the early afternoon. Let's offer people the chance to help fund transit while they wait!
We'll be gathering signatures for both Connect Bay Area and Stronger Muni for All, funding public transit in San Francisco and throughout the five counties of the inner Bay Area—and yes, we'll be able to give you both petitions!
We'll meet at 10am on the south side of Union Square, near the railing above the Geary Street entrance to the Union Square Garage, for a quick training and to hand out petition supplies. After that, we'll head out to work the lines and the surrounding area!
To see the most friendly faces and to join the group training session, plan to meet at the event start time. But if you've already attended a training (or if you complete online training in advance by reading our training guide then completing this form), you can stop by anytime before the end of the event to drop off completed petitions and/or pick up new ones. (We'll be able to do packet exchanges quicker after the first half-hour of the event.) Your RSVP is helpful either way and will allow us to send updates on our location.
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 other ways to be involved and help!

San Francisco needs to pass both the Stronger Muni for All (San Francisco parcel tax) and Connect Bay Area (five-county sales tax) transit measures in November to prevent service cuts, and you can gather signatures for both at the same time! We will have both petitions available at this event.
