DESCRIPTION:No New SF Jail!  Stop the SF Jail Fast-Track!\nDemand Full EIR Review!  No 
 Application for State Funds!\nSF Supes Hearing, Tuesday, July 21st, 3 PM. 
 City Hall, Room 250\n\nThe SF Supervisors will be voting \n\n(1) whether to 
  approve the Planning Department’s decision to allow the project to 
 proceed without a complete Environmental Impact Report (the so-called 
 “negative declaration”) and\n\n(2) whether to approve the City's 
 application for $80 million from the State to ease the $600+ million this 
 project would cost.\n\nPlease come to this hearing and speak.\n\nThe City 
 is trying to railroad this disastrous project through despite widespread 
 community opposition. We say this program is a disaster because (1) the 
 overwhelmingly disproportionate percentage of people of color in SF jails, 
 (2) the large proportion of SF inmates awaiting trial but too poor to make 
 bail, (3) the low crime rate and low occupancy of SF jails, meaning current 
 inmates could be housed in present facilities, (4) the huge cost of the 
 project, servicing a debt of $600 million over a thirty year period, 
 instead of supplying vital health and human services, and (5) loss of an 
 opportunity to embrace more effective and humane alternatives to 
 incarceration, ranging from immediate changes like bail reform, to 
 long-range solutions like affordable supportive housing and mental health 
 services.\n\n\nWith two police murders of Latin residents, a major scandal 
 of racist and homophobic text messages with death threats by SF police, the 
 stepped-up police profiling of black, Latin, and poor residents of areas 
 like the Mission that are selected for gentrification and displacement, and 
 the plan to hire hundreds more police, our reasons for opposing a new jail 
 and hiring new police are stronger than ever. Police Chief Greg Suhr has 
 already signaled that a new SF jail and hundreds of more police would lead 
 to increased criminalization of homelessness and profiling of black, brown, 
 and poor residents in areas targeted for development and 
 gentrification.\n\nCritical Resistance has issued an important new People's 
 Report, showing how much this jail/police program would cost, how many 
 services would have to be sacrificed to pay for it, why this jail/police 
 program is unnecessary, what the alternatives are, and how to get involved 
 and join the fight against it. The People's Report is available at
