Contact the mayor to support MUNI. How can we fund SFMTA (MUNI)? We can use a “Citizens Initiative”! “Muni Now Muni Forever” is arguing for a Variable Rate Parcel Tax (VPRT) to restore service levels.

Sample letter to daniel.lurie@sfgov.org; fill in what kind of rider you are in the brackets: Dear SF Mayor Daniel Lurie/Subject: A parcel tax is the best way to support Muni. Thank you for supporting a parcel tax to support MUNI. Such a progressive measure would help offset the regressive nature of a sales tax for the same purpose. As a [homeowner in SF, a frequent patron of MUNI, and an older adult], I fully support the parcel tax you have proposed.
