Crucial SF Supervisors Meeting,
Tuesday, January 27
1 PM, Rally on City Hall Steps
2 PM, Attend and Testify at Supervisors Meeting

This meeting will be a "Beilenson Hearing," a state-mandated hearing to closely examine the impact of all proposed County cuts in health services to the poor.  Beilenson Hearings typically involve moving testimony by large numbers of heathcare recipients,  providers, and advocates.  The Supervisors will then debate and vote on two measures that are crucial for the preservation of vital public health and human services for working and vulnerable San Franciscans:

• A "negative supplemental appropriation" measure to redirect this year's mid-year cuts to programs that not vital to the City's poorest and most vulnerable residents, and,

• A "fiscal emergency" measure to reduce next year's budget cuts by allowing revenue-generating measures on a Special Election in June City ballot without an exhaustive signature-gathering drive.

Elequent and moving testimony by a large number of people should provide Supervisors with both motivation and justification for passing our two measures. But for this to happen, we need you to attend and testify at this hearing, and get others to come too. We will be planning other activities leading up to this important hearing, so stay tuned!

E-mail all the Supervisors, urging them to pass the negative supplemental and the Special Election.
