San Francisco’s new budget proposal from Mayor Daniel Lurie includes cuts for almost every department. The only exceptions are public safety. We wouldn’t need all these cuts if only he tapped into untapped revenue sources.

School is stressful enough without needing to worry about where you’re going to sleep at night. Student homelessness is a problem we need to end.

Right-wing interests want to dismantle the public school system, starting in San Francisco. We have to ensure we have an equitable and accessible public school system.

California’s schools are in crisis, struggling with rising deficits while corporations exploit outdated tax loopholes. If we want a future where students thrive, we must prioritize education over corporate tax breaks.

UC Regents are raising non-resident undergrad tuition while giving themselves huge raises. Students shouldn’t have to subsidize the Regents’ unbalanced budget.

Private school tuition doesn’t buy better teachers, college prospects, or a happier future, and even if it did, those things should not be reserved only for families who can pay for it. Prop. 13 reform is necessary to make our education system more equitable.

The S.F. Hackathon, "Hack for Social Impact," promises tech solutions to social problems with cash prizes and big ideas—but instead of relying on techie quick fixes, let’s give the real experts—community organizations—the resources they need. The solution? Taxing the tech giants who’ve been skimming off the top and fund the people who actually know how to fix things.

Student homelessness and housing insecurity are issues that are not focused on often by both homelessness and education advocates, but it should be. Experiencing homelessness as a student is a difficult and traumatic experience that students shouldn’t have to deal with.
