5/27: Rally to Fight Back Against SFDPH Program Cuts & Clinic Closures
In addition to laying off all 4 clinical nurse specialists at Laguna Honda, the SF Department of Public Health plans to close 3 community clinics serving vulnerable populations: Larkin Street Youth Clinic, Cole Street Youth Clinic, and South East Mission Geriatric Clinic. They are also making moves to undermine and potentially dismantle the Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health Program.
As clinic closure date nears, seniors, healthcare workers fight back against SFDPH cuts, call out CEOs opposing Prop D
The mayor’s cuts are hitting seniors, LGBTQ youth, high-risk new mothers, and nursing home patients hard—as billionaires and CEOs dump money to fight the business tax that could protect their services. Impacted residents & workers rallied Wednesday
The San Francisco Department of Public Health, at the direction of Mayor Lurie, is making deep cuts that disproportionately impact the city’s most vulnerable residents: seniors with mental illness, LGBTQ and homeless youth, new and expecting mothers facing tough health and/or personal challenges, medically fragile long-term care residents at Laguna Honda Hospital. While Mayor Lurie blames the city’s budget deficit for the cuts, he has come out against Prop D, which would bring in as much as $300M in revenue a year to protect public services like these.

City workers are using Tax Day to call for a budget that would “Tax Corporate Greed” instead of cutting essential services.

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.
