DESCRIPTION:RALLY/DEMONSTRATION  AGAINST CITY SERVICE CUTS  Monday December 20, 2004  
 Noon  City Hall Steps  "DON'T BE A GRINCH, GAVIN!"  Stop Cuts in Services 
 to Seniors, Disabled and Families  During this holiday season the Mayor is 
 trying to cut funding  for several programs that serve the most 
 disadvantaged people in our community.  These mid year cuts will be in 
 effect for 18 months.  Come speak out against this attack on services for 
 low-income seniors, disabled and families.  Let the Board of Supervisors 
 know that budget cuts to those who can afford it the least will not be 
 tolerated.  Don't let them rush this through over the holidays.  Just a few 
 of the proposed cuts are:  … $2,094,406 to Private Provider Network (PPN) 
 Outpatient Mental Health. This means that 1,710 uninsured, indigent clients 
 will lose all access to mental health services  … $4,124,730 This 
 eliminates urgent care medical services at Tom Waddell Health Center. This 
 means approximately 20,000 fewer patient visits.  … $406,875 to the SF 
 General Hospital Pharmacy co-payment program. This will make medications 
 unaffordable and unavailable for almost 4000 low-income people.   These 
 cuts are merely the tip of the iceberg. There are many, many more.  Rally 
 Sponsored by the new San Francisco Peoples Organization, Senior Action 
 Network and Senior Housing Action Collaborative. Call 415-546-1333 for more 
 information.  You can also contact:  the Coalition on Homelessness 468 Turk
