SAN FRANCISCO – While celebrating at their floats this year, many of the marchers at Sunday’s Gay Pride Parade will also be protesting inequities in Mayor Newsom’s 2009-2010 budget, released earlier this month. LGBT organizations such as the Harvey Milk Democratic Club and Pride-at-Work will be joined by the Coalition to Save Public Health, the Budget Justice Coalition, and Direct Action to Stop the Cuts, groups that are speaking out against the drastic cuts to public services reflected in Mayor Newsom’s budget.<\/p>\n

The Mayor’s budget includes a 10% reduction in housing subsidies to people living with HIV\/AIDS, will eliminate HIV benefit counseling for more than 3,000 people, and will eliminate outreach and testing services for more than 4,000 people. Mid-year cuts have already eliminated culturally appropriate emergency psychiatric services for LGBT communities. “We can take no pride in a Mayor who devastates public health and slashes HIV\/AIDS prevention funding and housing subsidies,” said Rafael Mandelman, president of the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club.<\/p>\n

“Mayor Newsom is in lockstep with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Instead of protecting the most vulnerable populations, they have chosen to balance their budgets on the backs of the poor and the sick,” said Robert Haaland of Pride-at-Work.<\/p>\n

Both Mayor Newsom and Governor Schwarzenegger have proposed disproportionately heavy cuts to public health and social services in areas such as HIV prevention, mental health, homeless shelters, youth and senior services, and affordable housing. Programs facing elimination in San Francisco include the San Francisco AIDS Foundation’s Stonewall Program and the SRO Collaborative, which works with very low income tenants to ensure that their housing and health needs are met. Countless other programs face elimination or severe reductions.<\/p>\n

Budget justice marchers at Sunday’s parade are calling on city and state leaders to support progressive revenue measures and to share the pain of a tough budget year across all departments instead of concentrating on cuts to public health and programs serving low-income people.<\/p>\n

WHAT: DEMONSTRATION FOR BUDGET JUSTICE.<\/p>\n

WHO: Direct Action to Stop the Cuts, Budget Justice Coalition, Coalition to Save Public Health, Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club, Pride-at-Work<\/p>\n

WHEN: Sunday, June 28th<\/p>\n

WHERE: Gay Pride Parade. Protesters will be marching with the Harvey Milk Club and Pride-at-Work floats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
