March for Quality of Life

Tomorrow, June 10th, San Francisco coalitions and advocacy groups will be taking to the streets to march and rally against the proposed budget cuts to support and safety net services, services utilized by our cities low income and homeless populations.

If you feel strongly about the right for all people to have a decent quality of life please get out there and let your voice be heard. Removing funds from these life improving programs is not the solution to our budget issues. The population that these groups service need them and for many these collaborative and advocacy groups greatly improve their situations.

Would you want to help San Francisco’s poor with their bed bug issues? Eviction threats? Helping them figure out where their next meal will come from? I’m guessing most citizens would reply no. If these organizations aren’t there to help these people, who will?
