Hands Around the Capitol on September 15, 2010

This WEDNESDAY September 15, the HHS Network and its partners will be holding the "HANDS AROUND THE CAPITOL" demonstration, and we need all hands on deck to make this our biggest push yet!

We'll be in the Capitol to call on obstructionist legislators and tell them, "WE NEED A GOOD BUDGET WITH REVENUES NOW!" Join us WEDNESDAY Sept. 15th at the South Steps of the State Capitol Building at 1:00 p.m.

The HHS Network is also reserving buses in the following location to help transport people to the Capitol:
Fresno
Stockton
Modesto
San Francisco
Hayward
Oakland
Berkeley
Richmond
Southern California

To reserve your bus seats today, please contact Jessica Lehman at jessica.lehman@cril-online.org or Jodi Reid at jreid@californiaalliance.org! Please contribute to make Sept 15 a decisive action in the budget campaign Hundreds of people with disabilities, seniors, parents, and others are preparing to come to the Capitol on September 15. Can you help us pay for transportation? Please click here to donate $5, $25, $100, or whatever you can give.

If the budget delay continues, critical services at child care centers, health care clinics, and community programs begin to shut down – and thousands of people who contract with the state get deeper in debt because they aren’t getting paid. That’s why organizations representing these Californians are planning a giant mobilization in Sacramento on Sept 15.

Why Sept 15? Legislative leaders will be in the Capitol, negotiating the budget. It’s also the day Governor Schwarzenegger returns from his trade mission in Asia. Those hardest hit by the state budget crisis will go to Sacramento to tell the obstructionists: You are forcing the closure of critical programs, job loss for hundreds of thousands of employed people, and hurting California seniors, children, families and people with disabilities.
