Monday, April 20, 3:30 p.m.
In addition to layoffs, the SF Department of Public Health plans to close 3 community clinics serving vulnerable populations: the Cole Street Youth Clinic, the Michael Baxter Larkin Street Youth Clinic, and the South East Mission Geriatric Clinic.

Join us to tell the Health Commission it needs to change course.
SF city workers denounce Layoffs, call for “fair solutions that stand up to Trump”
Monday, April 6, Mayor Lurie’s administration issued layoff notices to San Francisco city workers, including 62 SEIU 1021 members across 12 departments.
And it’s not over: The mayor has announced that he is still committed to eliminating a total of 500 positions across the City, with a second phase of layoffs reportedly to come around the time he releases his proposed budget at the end of May or early June. City workers are deeply concerned that these cuts will further strain already understaffed departments that keep San Francisco clean, safe, and livable.

(San Francisco, CA) Today, Mayor Lurie’s administration issued layoff notices to San Francisco city workers and froze thousands of positions. Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” (H.R. 1) last year has had a major impact on the City’s budget, but there are local solutions that don’t require cutting staff and programs that residents rely on.
