§Out on the streets

Taking our issues to the streets will surely get everyone's attention, and will make everyone aware that our government is destroying the welfare infrastructure.

§This is a creative...

by D. Boyer

§The Truth is...

Wed, Jun 10, 2009 8:59PM

... our leaders do not care bout the people; otherwise they would be looking to make cuts that don't affect the welfare of our community and citizens.

Congrats to Tenderloin Self Help Center's victory today. As a result of the mobilizations going on Gavin Newsom is restoring their budget. For those of you who don't know their work, they are one of the most respectful homeless organizations, largely run by those who have been there at some point in their lives.

Keep up the fight!
