Paid Argument IN FAVOR of Proposition L
THE SAN FRANCISCO DEMOCRATIC PARTY SUPPORTS PROP L
San Francisco economists are projecting that the pandemic will create a budget deficit of over two billion dollars. We need to make sure that our public hospitals are able to hire nurses, doctors, and first responders so our hospitals aren't overwhelmed by COVID.
We believe that corporations that can afford to pay their executives million-dollar salaries every year can afford to pay their fair share in taxes to help us recover. Over the last 30 years, executive salaries in the United States have skyrocketed by 940%. But regular workers' salaries have grown by just 11%.
This measure not only raises much-needed funds for our healthcare system, it also incentivizes companies to invest in their workers, not just their executives. Businesses can avoid the tax by paying their executives less or by simply raising their employees' wages.

THE SAN FRANCISCO LABOR COUNCIL SUPPORTS PROP L!
The Labor Council represents tens of thousands of San Francisco workers including healthcare workers and emergency and frontline workers. It's our members who keep your families healthy and safe during medical emergencies.
The pandemic is far from over and San Francisco needs to be ready when the next wave hits. Unfortunately budget projections call for 250 million dollars in cuts to the Department of Public Health over the next two years. And that's after years of being under-staffed and under-funded.
Big corporations who can afford to pay their executives million-dollar salaries can afford to pay their fair share in taxes to help us recover.
If we're going to be prepared for a spike in the curve we'll need to pass Prop L to hire nurses, doctors, first responders, and other healthcare workers.

HEALTHCARE WORKERS SUPPORTS PROP L!
This pandemic has given a renewed respect for the dedicated healthcare workers who fight everyday to limit the spread of COVID-19 and take care of those of us who have tested positive. We are not just nurses and doctors, but patient advocates, residents, and physical therapists.
The pandemic is far from over and San Francisco needs to be ready when the next wave hits. Unfortunately budget projections call for 250 million dollars in cuts to the Department of Public Health over the next two years.
Prop L - The Overpaid Executive Tax - is calculated to raise $140 million dollars every year, allowing the City to hire hundreds of nurses, doctors, first responders, and other essential healthcare workers.

MENTAL HEALTHCARE WORKERS SUPPORT PROP L
As mental healthcare workers, we take care of our patients emotional and mental wellbeing. We are therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists that care for people who seek out treatment.
The COVID 19 pandemic has caused understandable panic and stress in the majority of the population. San Francisco needs more mental healthcare workers, but the city is facing a budget deficit with significant cuts to the Department of Public Health.
Prop L will help fill in that gap by taxing businesses that pay their executives over 100 times that of their median employee salary. Big corporations that can afford to pay their executives million-dollar salaries can afford to pay their fair share in taxes so we can have a strong healthcare system.

We are the workers at San Francisco's largest public hospital. And we are proud to be there for San Francisco families when they need us most.
Unfortunately understaffing and budget cuts have made our job more difficult. Now with the city budget deficit of over $1.7 billion dollars, further cuts to staffing will make our jobs more dangerous and will decrease quality of care.
Prop L - The Overpaid Executive Tax - is calculated to raise $140 million dollars every year, allowing the City to hire hundreds of nurses, doctors, first responders, and other essential healthcare workers.
During the pandemic our workers have put their lives on the line to help San Francisco families. CEOs making millions of dollars a year can pay their fair share to help get us back on track.

SOCIAL WORKERS SUPPORT PROP L
As social workers, we help working class families, foster kids, healthcare workers and crisis care workers. We see just how hard this pandemic has been for working class people during the economic recession.
While everyday people are struggling to make rent and pay bills, CEOs and other top executives have been making millions of dollars during the pandemic. Income inequality has grown even greater as the wealthiest members of society take more and more of the profits for themselves.
Prop L - The Overpaid Executive Tax - will ensure that CEOs making millions of dollars a year pay their fair share back to our communities. With the revenue from this tax, the City will hire hundreds of nurses, doctors, first responders, and other essential healthcare workers to help the working people of San Francisco.

Emergency Rooms are often the place people turn to when they have no insurance or can't wait to see their regular doctor. We are the workers that take care of you and your loved ones in their most desperate time of need.
The COVID 19 pandemic puts even more stress on our healthcare system. Emergency Rooms have been overflowing with COVID 19 cases without the necessary funding we need to keep up.

Our entire healthcare system is being put under extreme stress by the COVID 19 pandemic which has no end in sight. We need to be prepared for a spike in the curve, and that means having the funding to hire the frontline, essential workers our medical system needs.
Prop L only applies to corporations that pay their CEOs 100 times more than their average workers. Big corporations that can afford to pay their executives million-dollar salaries can afford to pay their fair share in taxes so we can have a strong healthcare system.

CRISIS CARE WORKERS SUPPORT PROP L
As crisis care workers, we are on the frontlines of de-escalating dangerous and violent situations in emergency rooms, shelters and our streets. We know how to stay grounded and compassionate during high levels of stress.
The pandemic has increased the need for more crisis care workers, but the city is facing a budget deficit which will hurt working people even more during this crisis.
But one group of people have financially benefited during this pandemic - executives at large corporations. By passing Prop L overpaid executives will pay their fair share which will allow the City to hire hundreds of nurses, doctors, first responders, and other essential healthcare workers.
San Francisco needs to prepare for the next wave of COVID 19 cases. We must pass Prop L.
