I love this #community #education effort H2flow, a song for #cleanwater sponsored by #EBMUD East Bay Municipal Utility District. Especially the line "skip the #plastic 'cause we can tap tap tap the #cleanwater from the tap, just like that"

I handed out flyers at #Fruitvale's #DiadelosMuertos festival today. I suspect my Spanish was better the last time I was out there, but I still managed to find a few voters that hadn't voted. ~150 of them!

Politicians seen: Erin Armstrong, Brenda Harbin-Forte, Victor Flores with a cool new BART shirt (available at their store), and Charlene Wang. Supposedly in the crowd: J Tran. Had a booth: Gallo & L Simon.
