Musician to urge restoration of shelter funding

Award-winning musician Moby will join state Sen. Leland Yee in San Francisco today to urge Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to sign a bill to restore $16.3 million in funding for the state’s domestic violence shelters.

The state Senate on Wednesday unanimously approved the legislation.

Moby will donate all the proceeds from a Warfield concert tonight to state domestic violence shelters.

Moby and the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence recently established a permanent fund to benefit California shelters.

On Sunday, California bore the brunt of what meteorologists referred to as a bomb cyclone and an atmospheric river, a convergence of storms that brought more than half a foot of rain to parts of the Bay Area, along with high winds, concerns about flash floods and the potential for heavy snow in the Sierra Nevada. Much of the Bay Area was under a flash flood watch on Sunday, with the National Weather Service warning of the potential for mudslides across the region. (NOAA via The New York Times)
