S.F. can’t afford cuts
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie needs to get his priorities in order.
Raise money for schools
Our communities, schools and services are suffering while billionaires and corporations rake in more every year. We shouldn’t be afraid to tax them fairly so our students can have the education they deserve.
Closing S.F. schools is not worth the cost of what the city would lose
I always hear Mayor Daniel Lurie talking about how we’re a “city on the rise.” To me, that sounds like a city with robust public schools, public transit and public services. Not a place where public schools are closed without a strong financial reason.
Close the corporate loophole in Prop 13
It’s fantastic that we’re finally having a conversation surrounding reforming Proposition 13, but focusing on reforming the homeowner side misses the forest for the trees.
Instead of cuts, this is what S.F. could do to balance its budget
Prop. 13 reform could be the solution to San Francisco’s budget woes.
Rather than hike sales tax, fix Prop. 13
Oakland should not consider more regressive sales taxes. Instead, they should consider Prop. 13 reform.
Fair corporate taxes could bail out cities
Every city in California is suffering from a lack of revenue sources. Prop. 13 reform could change that.
Prop. 13 reform could solve cities’ shortfalls
Prop. 13 reform could solve the budget woes of many cities in Calfornia, including Oakland.
How is kicking people to the curb going to end homelessness in S.F.?
Kicking people out of their homes without providing any where else for them to go is cruel and unacceptable
Loan forgiveness cuts threaten community
Financial aid is a lifeline for marginalized communities, and Trump’s targeting of it is dangerous.
Reform could fund schools
Contra Costa School of Performing Arts is the next in a long line of charter schools to close. We should fund our public schools by reforming Prop. 13, not rely on the whims of charter schools.
Prop. 13’s legacy still hurts our schools
Our teachers should be treated better. Prop. 13 reform would help us get there.
With Trump’s dismantling of the Education Department, here’s how state can help students
Our education system is under attack by the federal government. Here’s how we can protect it here in California.
Reform Prop. 13 — End Constant Deficits
Read about how Prop. 13 reform can help us move towards exiting this era of constant budget deficits in California.
How to Fund Community College? Prop. 13 Reform!
Community colleges provide vital pathways to four year universities. They need to be funded!
How to save schools
Underfunded schools should be funded, not closed, and San Francisco has no need for more luxury housing. We should build more affordable housing and reform Prop. 13.
Hold Lurie accountable
London Breed is no longer mayor of San Francisco. Why are we still focusing on her involvement in Prop. E, but not the involvement of our current mayor, Daniel Lurie?
Fremont encampment ban won’t help homeless people, but that’s not what politicians care about
Fremont’s encampment ban is dangerous and cruel. We should be helping our unhoused neighbors, not punishing the people who do.
Prop. 13 Reform Isn’t On Sacramento’s Radar, But It Should Be
Prop. 13 is taking away funding and resources from important public services — like fire departments. Politicians need to be focusing on Prop. 13 reform.
Is Education at Public or Private Schools Better for Kids?
