San Fran rocks!

Activist community organizations and union locals have come together calling themselves United in Crisis to demand a more humane and more just city response to the coronavirus pandemic and economic crash. They put out a ten point program:

• Meeting Basic needs:
  Ensure Equitable Access to Information For All
  Ensure Deliveries of Food and Medications

• Workers
  Create Public Health Emergency Leave and Worker Protections
  Direct Payments to Vulnerable Workers, Not Through Employers

• Students and School Communities
  Schools Sites Act as Centers for Food, Childcare, Wellness
  Sustainable Funding to Fill Gaps in School and Childcare Systems

• Healthcare
  Provide Full Healthcare Staffing at all Public Facilities
  Give Access to Basic Sanitation and Testing for All San Franciscans

• Housing and Homelessness
  Implement a Full Eviction Moratorium
  Give Access to Unfilled Hotels and Private Housing

Even as we shelter in place, we can hold our city pols accountable -- and take notes about who has risen to this awful occasion.
