The idea of a corporate office taking over our space and our losing our lives' work, every single penny, and every drop of sweat, goes against the principles of advancement and integrity that we know are at the heart of this community. PLEASE help us retain our space by signing . Help us remind our landlord that Twinspace is of value to the neighborhood and the city. Refuse the allow corporate offices to take over the beautiful recycled maple floor, fully mirrored dance studio and colorful seamstress studio, that we created with our own hands and hearts!!!

PLEASE share this with anyone you know who cares about the future of the Performing and Healing Arts in San Francisco! THANK YOU FOR READING!

  • Get Matt Taibbi recent blog taken down.
    On March 1, 2012, the Conservative movement lost a key figure, Andrew Breitbart was a visionary for the Pro-Choice Movement. Never backing down from a challenge that was sent his way. But with his death came much hate, and in particular a Rollingstone blogger named Matt Taibbi took it way to far by proclaiming his death as a great thing.

  • RUSH LIMBAUGH SHOULD BE OFF THE AIR
    Rush Limbaugh's reprehensible attack on Sandra Fluke (the college woman who spoke to Congress about women's reproductive rights), calling her a slut and a prostitute and asking her to make a sex video, should be the final nail in his on-air coffin. Let's convince KMBZ to kick him off the air.

  • H.64- Improve the Health and Prosperity of Vermonters with CAM
    Reduce the amount Vermonters and Vermont’s employers pay for health care by passing H.64 (http://tinyurl.com/PreventionSavings). With health care costs spiraling out of control, H.64 will allow for insurance coverage of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) (www.CAMaVT.org), to prevent disease before disease actually arises. It has been shown that there is an increasing rate of return by investing in preventative medicines over investing in the current medical system. H.64 Draft: “This bill proposes to require health insurance plans, including Medicaid, to provide coverage for all health care services, including complementary and alternative treatments, if at least two studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals find such services to be safe, to be directly related to statistically significant improvements in individuals’ health status, and to reduce associated medical costs.”
