What’s the issue?
Since the City Council repealed the ban on new billboards back in 2018, and despite overwhelming public opposition, decision makers at City Hall are hellbent on allowing new digital billboards in San Jose. These would be the first new billboards in more than 40 years.

Digital billboards threaten the safety of commuters, environment and energy.
Our primary mission is to stop new digital billboards from going up in San Jose, and push for the re-instatement of a city-wide ban on new digital and conventional billboards.

Billboards possess no value unless visible from the publicly financed right of way that billboard advertising, unlike other road users, is not taxed to support
