Calls Needed For A Fair CA Budget
None of St. Anthony Foundation’s health and social service programs are funded through government sources, yet we at St. Anthony’s are involved in budget advocacy. We work to protect the safety net because we know that we can not be as effective in helping our guests transition to stable lives without public-sector investment in health and social services that help support the low-income, the homeless, the sick, the elderly, and the disabled.
Health and Human Services Network of California is a coalition of advocates, health and social service providers, low-income families, seniors, people with disabilities, and people who believe in a California that cares for all of its residents have joined together in a Summer of Action for a fair California budget. Anyone can be a part of the budget justice movement by making a simple phone call to their legislators and telling them to support a Family Recovery Budget for California that:
1) Creates and maintains jobs,
2) Protects our state’s vital health and human services, and
3) Includes targeted revenue solutions at the State and Federal levels, to get our economy, our State, and all families back on track.
