Political Philosophy for Tahnee Stair

Candidate for
Board of Supervisors

Increasingly racist, anti-worker and anti-poor attacks are being carried out against the vast majority of San Franciscans by a small, powerful ruling few. These bankers and bosses are responsible for the skyrocketing rents and homelessness, a growth in racism and immigrant attacks, a lack of quality education, transportation, healthcare, and more. All this, while the city maintains a larger budget with a surplus! The only explanation is that a war has been launched on the poor and workers of S.F. by these bandit bankers and bosses - a class war. Their aim is to drive out the poor, workers, immigrants, youth, and people of color from this city and turn it into a haven for the wealthy. Together, though, we can stop their plans. Tax the corporations to fund social programs, and turn San Francisco into a haven for all people with jobs, affordable housing and quality education, free of anti-lesbian/gay/bi/trans bigotry.

We are the majority and we should run this city for ourselves! Fight back against capitalist attacks!

Rollback Rents - Stop Evictions Affordable Housing for All! Preserve and expand affordable public and Section 8 housing, governed by democratically elected residents.

Fight Racism Defend Affirmative Action! End the racist removal of the African American and other communities of color in S.F., and attacks on immigrants.

End Police Brutality Justice for Mark Garcia, Sheila Detoy, and all victims of police brutality. Stop racist police abuse and criminalization of the poor.

End Homelessness Stop attacks on the homeless. Use existing Presidio housing for low-income families.

Jobs for All Raise the minimum wage to $10/hr. Support all workers' right to unionize.

Make MUNI Free Public transit should be free, governed by transit workers and riders.

Medical Care is a Human Right Save SF General and Laguna Honda. Money for AIDS/HIV care & education. Free reproductive and pre-natal care.

Environmental Justice Keep toxic development out of Bayview/Hunters Point, the Mission and all communities! Make corporations pay for clean-ups. Create safe bicycle routes, not freeways.

Save Education Keep bilingual education. Stop the privatization of our public schools. Make City College free again. Eliminate CSU, UC tuition. Open Admissions. Multicultural studies. Free Day Care. Money for schools, not cops and war.

Full Rights for ALL! Defend disabled rights - enforce the ADA. Full rights for the gay, lesbian, bi and trans community.
