J 13- Saucedo leads protesters into SF City Hall
Save SF community health clinics, including Tom Waddell! Raise PG&E's franchise fee! Stop wasting funds to criminalize sexworkers and the homeless!
Supervisor candidate Renee Saucedo tried to lead protesters (mostly Latino/Latina) into the SF Mayor's office,
around 10AM on a bitterly cold Thursday morning, 13 January 2005.
They got into City Hall, but were stopped at the outer door
of his office suite.
So they held a "press conference" (more like a rally)
just outside the closed door.
Their demands include funds for AIDS/HIV programs, at-home nursing,
neighborhood medical clinics (especially Tom Waddell), etc.
[Details may be available from La Raza Centro Legal, Inc. ]

.............................
Among the Mayor's budget cuts is the "Senior Escort Program",
which allows frail elders to
get to the bank, supermarket, or doctor.
Without this vital life-line, many
independent elders will wind up in nursing "homes",
as de facto prisoners.
For the Chronicle report on this cruel cut, please see:

While you're at it, why not ask that all SF city employees take at least a 10 or 15% pay cut? SF city employees are amongst the highest paid govt workers in the country. They made out good during "Willie's years", so now its time to payback. Instead of cutting funding to important social programs, these workers should do the right thing and take a cut!
these cuts where made so that upwardly moble supervisors could make political points by sending your money to tsunami relief since it is so popular right now and you want care not cash we didn't think you'd mind
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
