Monday in SF Testify to Stop Chain Stores from Sneaking Into Our Neighborhoods
Historical legislation will be heard Monday at 4 pm to require that neighborhoods where chain stores want to operate be notified in advance. This will stop them from sneaking in. Chains drive up the costs for everyone. They have deep pockets ususally from anti-union, sweatshop profits. Protect Our Diversity
