Budget Rally And Advocacy Leads to Good Results
CLC and other members of the Budget Justice Coalition and the Coalition of Agencies Serving the Elderly worked hard to bring a list of funding priorities to the Mayor and the Board of Supervisors. CLC focused on putting seniors and adults with disabilities to work to help address the issues.
CLC delivered scores of "worker ducks" with messages about the importance of employment to seniors and adults with disabilities and to the future of the city. The final list included $600,000 to employment programs focused on seniors and adults with disabilities.
First of two votes on the Final Budget -
Tuesday, July 24.
In the meantime we will work to keep our ducks in a row!
