On this edition of Your Call, we'll find out why activists, community members, and members of the public have been speaking out against San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie’s $15.9 billion proposed budget, which includes $200 million in nonprofit funding cuts over two years.
On Monday, hundreds turned out at the San Francisco Board of Supervisors Budget and Appropriations Committee meeting to make their voices heard. They say Mayor Lurie’s budget threatens to gut everything from violence prevention and eviction defense to food security and mental health care. Mayor Lurie says the cuts are needed to address San Francisco’s $817 million projected deficit over the next two years.
