Video for 'When the Floods Come", by East-Bay celtic hip hop fusion band Beltaine's Fire. The song was inspired by hurricane Katrina, the impact of global warming on gulf water temperatures and thus on the strength of hurricanes in the gulf coast, the governments failure, the incredible grassroots response that was documented on indymedia but ignored by the corporate news, the irreparable damage that capitalism is doing to our ecosystem, and why we need a revolution.

Will San Francisco fund the Tenderloin Health program which would be the city's only 24-hour drop-in center? A place where homeless people would be able to go INSIDE for the night. Maybe not. Mayor Gavin Newsom wants to deny funds to the Tenderloin Health program and instead prosecute and jail the homeless for being OUTSIDE during the night.
