LOS ANGELES — On Saturday, August 23, Californians in Los Angeles, San Diego, the
Bay Area and elsewhere will rally against Senate Bill 79. SB 79 would allow developers
to build large, high-density projects as tall as 15 stories, based solely on proximity to
transit stops – even proposed, not-yet-built ones. The bill overrides local safety
standards, infrastructure limits and community input.
Take Photos and Videos!
At your own rally, take a photo of yourself and your sign, poster, or paper stating “NO on SB 79!”
