  • We  are concerned that proposed reductions (30%) for city departments may result in poorly funded programs that impact women, children and family health.
  • We are concerned- even outraged - that last year's budget provided generous allocations for the Marina Yacht Club when women's shelters were struggling to stay afloat.
  • We are concerned that in a period of increased domestic violence that services and resources for victims of violence are likely to experience cuts.  
We need to take  action - please come to learn, talk, and plan.
