Yesterday we showed up at City Hall alongside our partners in the People's Budget Coalition to deliver more than 1,500 postcards to Mayor Lurie before he submits his next draft of the budget. No cuts to our communities! We demand a people's budget, not one that serves billionaires and police!

Yesterday we gathered with other public transit advocates for the kickoff of the Stronger Muni For All ballot measure campaign. This ballot measure would create a parcel tax to sustainably fund Muni. Want to get involved in the fight to keep Muni alive, now and forever? Sign up at muniforever.org

A group of people, most of them wearing masks, holding signs in Dolores park with the San Francisco skyline in the background. Their signs say "Stronger Muni," "Muni is our life," and "Our transit needs funding. Help us keep it running. Muni now, Muni forever."
