Pledge to Shop Oakland

From our good friends at the East Bay Express:

Hi friends,

I hope you will enjoy this video, and feel free to post it to your own website or e-newsletter:



Also, there are just TWO days left to "Make the Pledge" to divert at least $100 of your holiday spending from out-of-town chains to local, indie businesses and artists. If all of our Express readers did so, it would have a $58.8 million dollar impact on our community, an estimated $8.75 million more than if that money went to chain stores. So, this holiday season, avoid the malls, avoid the crowds, and avoid being a part of Generica! Email "I Pledge" to eLerts@EastBayExpress.com, and you'll be automatically entered to win $1000 in local/indie gift certificates by the East Bay Express.

Since you're already online, here are some helpful links:
