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.
