Carrotmobbers! We asked you for campaign ideas! We asked you to help us organize campaigns! Kristen Berman, a local organizer here in San Francisco was the first of many to answer the call and she came to us with a great campaign! Carrotmob and Mercury Cafe are partnering to raise funds to build a parklet. For the past two years, Mercury has been raising funds to complete a parklet right outside the entrance to the cafe on Octavia Street. And is this going to be a great parklet. A public space for people to sit, read, talk, and, yes, drink coffee, the parklet will be made from reclaimed wood and feature innovative green features to make the space incredibly cozy. It will be an incredible public space for the community to gather and increase the quality of life in Hayes Valley, one of San Francisco's most treasured neighborhoods. Problem is, they have only raised $6,000 of the anticipated $8,000 cost. They need US (yes, you Carrotmobbers!) to get them over the finish line! After talking with us, they have agreed to devote 15% of every dollar spent in the Carrotmob to bridging the gap and turning this from vision into reality!
