Women, especially women of color, are hardest hit by the social service reductions enacted by Democratic Governor Brown and the California Legislature in March. Better solutions exist, like closing corporate tax loopholes, increasing income tax on the wealthy, and reducing prison expenditures. Speakers from Sisters United Front for Survival and These Cuts Won't Heal Coalition address why Sacramento ignores life-saving alternatives and how the budget can prioritize need, not greed.
