Show up, buy coffee, and make a business more eco-friendly. What's a Carrotmob? It's the opposite of a boycott-- instead of staying away, we show up in droves, and support a business that pledges a percentage of sales to becoming more eco-friendly. Bernie's Café in Noe Valley is already a certified member of the Green Cafe Network and has pledged over 40% of sales during the October 18 event to go even greener.

The annual auction fundraiser is PILF's primary funding source for summer grants. Last year's auction raised over $50,000 which, combined with matching funds from the law school, provided twenty-six deserving students with a stipend of $4,000 to support their summer work. While last year's auction was a tremendous success and resulted in the funding of the greatest number of grants in PILF history, there remained many more qualified applicants than recipients. PILF's goal is to provide grants for all eligible students who are devoting their summers to unpaid public interest or public sector work.

PILF as asking students, professors, alumni and other professionals to consider donating just one day's pay to help support the dozens of law students who fan out across the Bay Area, the state and the country to do important public interest work in the legal field. Students who receive grants often work to promote the civil and political rights of the poor and under-represented. All too often, this important work is not paid, and students must find a way to support themselves and their volunteer work.
Your generous donation will help us raise funds to provide summer grants to students doing this important public interest work throughout our communities.
WHAT: A cocktail hour to thank those who have already donated a day and encourage those who haven't. This will be a fun networking event and we encourage anyone interested in PILF's work to join us. For those who cannot afford to donate a day, any support is welcomed, including your presence at out major events.
WHEN: July 9, 2009 at 5:30 p.m.

WHERE: Kendrick, Room 100
WHAT: A debate on PROPOSITION 4, which requires parental notification and a waiting period before a teenager can terminate a pregnancy.

Please bring canned food items to the debate to be donated to a local women's shelter. While we may be on opposite sides of the fence on this issue, we can still promote a unifying spirit of cooperation and support to those who need it!
