Measure L, if passed by a simple majority, will raise the allocation of city funds for Los Angles Public Library from the current .0175% to 0.3%. Such an increase would allow for the library to eventually return to six day service and increase the materials budget, with no new taxes and all fiscal transactions subject to audit.
Following Mr. Gomez's session, students brainstormed campaign ideas, which will focus on the UCLA campus, home to 42,000 registered voters, and student's neighborhoods, which cover the range of Los Angeles. Students decided on a range of activities, including handing out and posting fliers on campus and around Los Angeles, using social networking tools and face-to-face social networks to inform and encourage people to vote, submitting op-ed pieces to the Daily Bruin and the Los Angeles Times, and supporting other local actions taken to further this campaign.
