The CPUC is voting Thursday on a plan that might keep the dirty Aliso Canyon gas storage facility indefinitely open.

Please join us at the CPUC hearing for a rally and to make public comment demanding they delay the proceeding until March rather than approve the process that would keep Aliso Canyon open.   Residents of Aliso have been dealing with the serious public health repercussions of the blowout and fighting to shut it down since 2015.  They need our support!

For a quick update on Aliso Canyon, see Sammy Roth’s recent editorial in the LAT, “Gavin Newsom’s failure to close Aliso Canyon is hurting us all.”

RSVP here to help Shut Aliso Down!

Companies like United Healthcare, Humana, Emblem, Aetna and the healthcare industry are driven by how to make more profit by privatizing Medicare and taking more profits from patients to put in their pockets.

United Healthcare like other profiteers is also now using AI to Deny, Delay and Depose so their profits will skyrocket and further harm and kill people who need healthcare.

The recent strike of Unite Here Local 2 hotel workers only ended when the union threatened to have mass pickets at their convention if they didn’t sign a contract.

They are fearful that that American people are waking up and fed up with their scams to rip off healthcare from the people of this country.

A key issue in the hotel strike was the effort to take away their union health plan, so insurance companies can get away with more deductibles and denials for Lo-cal 2 members.

The only way to stop this madness is to take the healthcare industry away from the capitalists and for public worker control of the healthcare system. This will not happen with the Democrats who like the Republicans are controlled by the same billionaires and profiteers.

We need a labor party that has as its program the nationalization of the entire healthcare industry under control of the healthcare workers and health industry workers instead of these capitalists who put profits over lives.

Join us at the rally & tell your story about how these companies are denying helping

The day before Inauguration Day, January 19th, people from across Northern California will come together in San Francisco to demand a future that centers the needs of the people over the interests of the wealthy elite. With voices raised for workers’ rights, immigrant rights, environmental justice, and an end to the genocide in Gaza, we will stand for working people, not a billionaire’s agenda-from the local to the global, from defending people at home to ending the U.S. war machine.

REAFFIRMING SANCTUARY

Join the Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity next Wednesday, for a press conference, procession, and day of remembrance vigil.
