Remembering a friend killed in Iraq, Marla Ruzicka
On Saturday April 16, our colleague and friend, 27-year-old Marla Ruzicka of Lakeport, California, was killed when a car bomb exploded on the streets of Baghdad.

Marla was working for a humanitarian organization she founded called CIVIC (Campaign for Inno...

Proposed Tenderloin Housing Clinic Cut Amounts to Attack on Renters, Immigrants
For the past twenty years, renters in San Francisco knew that if they faced wrongful eviction, they could turn to the Tenderloin Housing Clinic (THC) for free legal help. Yet now, Mayor Gavin Newsom wants to launch another salvo at low-income and working class people by cutting in half funding for this aid. Should this proposed cut become a reality, vulnerable tenants throughout San Francisco, including monolingual Spanish speakers, will suffer....
