July 21 SF Supes to Decide Public Defender funding

On July 21, 2009 at 2 p.m., the San Francisco Board of Supervisors will again decide on the city's budget, including the public defender who is the city lawyer for workingclass criminal defendants, as well as all other services needed by the workingclass. We need your Emails and phone calls now to support all social services, including the public defender.

More information on what the public defender does and the outrageous attack on this excellent service by Democratic mayor Nazi Gavin Newsom may be found at:
