According to the San Leandro Community Action Network's latest e-newsletter, City Council candidate Ursula Reed just picked up some huge support.

Actor Danny Glover has apparently taken a personal interest in Reed's campaign and will be coming to San Leandro on Saturday to speak at a reception for her.

Wondering how this all happened? Her campaign manager, Terrell Santiago, said Glover heard about Reed "through a friend of a friend." After their conversation, Glover, who is known to be pretty politically active, apparently asked what he could do to help.

In addition to coming to support Reed's campaign, Glover will be talking about his upcoming film, which is about Toussaint L'Ouverture, who led the Haitian slave revolt against the French colonial regime in 1791.
