Gay Shame Marchs Against Newsom's Prop N in the Marina District

"Care not Cash"/Prop N is a disgusting and offensive proposition being pushed by the notoriously anti-homeless Supervisor Gavin Newsom. "Care not Cash" would slash GA workers' benefits from $395/month to a pitiful $59/month while guaranteeing absolutely NO new services to people who are poor and homeless in San Francisco. This would decrease GA workers' pay to less than $2.00 an hour while they are expected to continue playing an exhaustive game of trying to find decent, affordable housing and services in a city where they simply do not exist. This is simply a bullshit scheme being supported by wealthy business people and corporations in San Francisco that is being used to criminalize people who are poor and homeless. It's time that rich San Franciscans stop viewing themselves as victims of homelessness. The problem with homelessness is not that the wealthy have to see people sleeping outside and be asked ! for money while walking down the street. The problem is that people are not being offered the decent housing, services, treatment, and respect that they need and deserve.
