What’s Next in the Fight for San Francisco’s Budget?

Hundreds of residents, nonprofit leaders, labor unions, seniors, disability advocates, caregivers, and community organizations have already rallied, marched, delivered postcards, and spoken out against proposed cuts to services that thousands of San Franciscans depend on every day. But June will be one of the most important months in the fight to protect the Dignity Fund and other critical community programs.

This month’s Dignity Fund Coalition meeting will help prepare advocates for the next stage of the campaign as the Mayor’s proposed budget moves through the Board of Supervisors. Community members are strongly encouraged to attend hearings, offer public comment, and continue to show city leaders that San Franciscans are paying attention.

Upcoming Budget Dates:

• June 1 — The Mayor’s proposed budget is officially released.

• June 2 — Election Day. Propositions C and D could impact future city budgets and funding priorities.

• June 5 — The Board of Supervisors discusses the Mayor’s proposed budget, including whether supervisors will push back against proposed cuts.

• June 10 — The Board of Supervisors Budget & Appropriations Committee reviews the Department of Disability and Aging Services (DAS) budget and other key departments.

• June 15 — People’s Budget Day of Action, focused on protecting services for seniors and people with disabilities. Stay tuned for more information.

• June 22 — The Board of Supervisors makes recommendations on additions and reductions to the DAS budget.

• June 25 — Public Comment Day.

If you cannot attend meetings in person, you can still watch proceedings live and provide public comment through San Francisco Government Television at sfgovtv.org.
