We almost have succeeded in restoring social-recreational services and camp, but we must jump over one more hurdle.

Both the Senate and the Assembly Budget Committees have passed the restoration. Now they must get the Governor to agree to this.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

1. CALL MEMBERS OF THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
(These are the Senators and Assemblymembers who are negotiating with the Governor on the budget.)

Be sure to mention if you are a constituent (live in their district)

916-651-4030

Assemblymember Philip Ting (Co-Chair) - Westside of San Francisco, Daly City
916-319-2019
