This is not public health. It's an attack on the rights and autonomy of people with mental health disabilities. CA should invest in voluntary, community-based services — not force medications on people. [2/4]
Oppose AB 1676 before it's too late! This California bill now moving through the legislature would give the state power to transport people to locked facilities and forcibly inject them with long-acting medications against their will for months at a time. [1/4]

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."
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
Today, we joined Mayor Lurie, Sup Mandelman, Sup Melgar, Sup Mahmood, Sup Sauter, transit riders, and advocates to kick off the Stronger Muni for All campaign.
Learn more and get involved here: buff.ly/7TNcN0I
The Stronger Muni for All measure will prevent catastrophic Muni service cuts and help the city invest in a safer, more reliable, and more affordable transit system for San Francisco.
Kickoff the Stronger Muni for All campaign next Tuesday, March 3, at 12:00 PM.
