Our rally Wednesday, June 4, was POWERFUL. Over 2,000 City union members and community members showed up at City Hall at noon to protest Mayor Lurie’s budget, which would lay off over 100 union members and eliminate well over 1,000 vacant positions. We need every single one of those positions to provide the services San Francisco residents depend on.

Hundreds took personal time off work to stay for the Board of Supervisors’ budget hearing to give public comment about the impacts the mayor’s budget cuts will have, both on those being laid off and on the services their departments provide.

Now is the time to keep the pressure on. The decision is in the Board of Supervisors’ hands. As Supervisor Shamann Walton said, layoffs are not even close to necessary at this time.

Just this week, the San Francisco Democratic Party issued a statement urging the mayor and the Board of Supervisors to close the deficit without layoffs: “These workers are more than line items on a spreadsheet. They are the human infrastructure of our local government.”

We’re committed to keep fighting to stop every single layoff and make sure San Francisco residents get the public services they need. Are you in?
