People with disabilities and seniors rally to protest budget cuts to life sustaining services and income

SACRAMENTO— After the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office tomorrow releases its report on Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s proposed 2008-09 state budget, hundreds of Californians—all people who use or advocate for the state’s In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program—will rally on the steps of the state Capitol against the unnecessary and drastic proposal for 18 percent cuts in vital domestic services. Those cuts would mean that low-income people with disabilities and seniors lose precious hours of help with meal preparation, clean-up, housekeeping, laundry, and food shopping, all of which make it possible for them to avoid or delay costly and unnecessary institutional care. Individuals eligible for IHSS services have disabilities, are 65 or older, or blind, and are unable to live safely at home without help. The IHSS program uses state, county and federal funding to enable IHSS consumers to hire a caregiver.

Time: Wednesday, February 20, 2008 - 12:00pm PST

As you might have heard, Lawrence "Larry" King, the 15 year old E.O. Green Junior High student was shot Tuesday, February 12 in Oxnard, CA. Larry was declared brain-dead Wednesday after he was shot in the head twice by a fellow junior high student at school, and he was taken off life support on Thursday. According to friends, Larry was perceived to be gay and gender non-conforming and had been bullied at school. The suspect, a 14-year old student, has been charged with attempted murder, and the case is being prosecuted as a hate crime.
