The No on 98 campaign, in conjunction with queer community leaders, will kick off a Castro outreach effort this weekend to get the word out about the June 3 ballot measure that would wipe out rent control.

The mobilization will take place Saturday, May 3 at 11 a.m. at Harvey Milk Plaza (Market and Castro streets). Volunteers will come together to distribute literature in every precinct in the heavily gay neighborhood. Census data shows that about 65 percent of apartments in the Castro are currently under rent control, opponents of the measure said.
