On June 16, California Church IMPACT will hold a protest outside the capitol to protest the cuts.
Join us Tuesday, June 16 from 9 a.m. to noon in Sacramento to have a huge faith rally on behalf of every single human life that is being thrown away to balance our budget!
Every single social support in welfare, health, and even prenatal care is being ripped out of the budget to prevent having to revisit tax increases on those with resources. We MUST be present to witness against this disgusting and utterly immoral action!
We will begin our march at the Capitol from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. followed by visits by you to YOUR legislator. You will carry the message: “One who oppresses the poor to increase his or her own wealth, and one who gives gifts to the rich – both come to poverty.” (Pr.22:16) Those already living on the thin edge due to the economic crisis are now being pushed into abject misery, homelessness, even loss of life. This is not an exaggeration since even some dialysis service is being eliminated, a sure and certain death sentence for those with kidney failure.
