DESCRIPTION:SB-1045 Homeless Conservatorship Is Bad!  Expanding it is Worse!\nNo to 
 Detention and Forced Treatment for a Few Homeless!\nSupportive Housing and 
 Mental Health/Substance Treatment For All!\n\nAction at Scott Weiner's Town 
 Hall\nSaturday, April 6, 10 AM\n200 McAllister (Betw Hyde & Larkin, UC 
 Hastings) SF\nFacebook: www.facebook.com/events/349502475771928/\n\nScott 
 Weiner's original conservatorship bill, SB-1045, allowed San Francisco to 
 “conserve”, (detain and forcibly treat) homeless people with mental 
 illness and substance abuse, if police sent them to Psych Emergency eight 
 times in twelve months.  The Voluntary Services First Coalition opposes 
 this bill, saying it’s another form of homeless criminalization and does 
 nothing to solve the homelessness problem.  What we need to do is provide 
 supportive housing and mental health/substance abuses to all who need it.\n 
 \nAs SB-1045 was in Sacramento in 2018, civil liberties and disabilities 
 groups opposing SB 1045 successfully pressured the legislature to add some 
 protective clauses to SB-1045.  It’s turning out that these clauses are 
 now restricting the potential conservatees in San Francisco to 5-10 people. 
  So Weiner is now sponsoring SB 40, which would remove some of these 
 protective clauses to cover more people and make it easier to conserve 
 them; in effect moving the goalposts to try to rescue a fundamentally 
 flawed bill.\n \nPlease join the Voluntary Services First Coalition inn San 
 Francisco, Saturday, April 6, 10 AM, at 200 McAllister, Hastings law 
 school. You can learn more about SB-1045, SB-40, and the senior, 
 disability, homeless, and civil liberties advocates that make up the 
 Voluntary Services First Coalition at http://bit.ly/SDA_HAT\n\nAlso, SB-40 
 will be heard in Sacramento at the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday, 
 April 9.  Letters of opposition should be emailed to  sjud.fax@sen.ca.gov  
 by April 3.  A template is at
