Health Care for America NOW! | Event | 40 Days/40 Nights to Health Reform - We voted for change. Get it done now. Get it done right!

Rally to send Congress the message that we voted for change and they need to finish health reform now and finish it right.
Time: Wednesday, February 17 from 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Host: Patrick Romano
Location:
Justin Herman Plaza (San Francisco, CA)
1 Market St
San Francisco, CA 94101


Why rally?:
We voted for change in 2008. For more than a year we’ve mobilized to reform health care, rein in Wall Street, create good jobs, win workers' rights and beat back climate change. We’re fed up. We want the change we voted for and we want it now! Because if the insurance companies and big corporations win, we lose.

We’re rallying to send that message. Join us!

Rite Aid workers fight for first contract » peoplesworld

Rite Aid workers fight for first contract » peoplesworld

Juan wrote this interesting article a couple of weeks ago about a union struggle that has been taking place in Lancaster, California for years. The ILWU has organized Rite Aid distribution workers and is fighting for a first contract against management who are acting in bad faith. While the ILWU mostly represents dock workers, this struggle gives a new dimension because you can't put up a picket line in the middle of the ocean but you can in front of a Rite Aid store. The YCL in Oakland is organizing in support of the Rite Aid distribution workers and we hope to show creative solidarity with these fellow workers.

Comment

The main activity of our group consists of participating in progressive struggles and recruitment.

Although we are revolutionary anti-capitalists, we realize that just as it is criminal not to act revolutionarily in a revolutionary situation, so it is wrong to try to act revolutionarily in an unrevolutionary situation.

Our task is therefore to struggle along with the masses trying to win reforms, while at the same time representing our socialist views and trying to develop anti-capitalist political consciousness. This, rather than ultra-radicalism, is the way to pave the road to a revolutionary movement, and ultimately a new society.

We want working people and progressives to understand that we are unhesitating allies in all of their fights, and we want our members and prospective members to know that they will get the opportunity to participate fully in them!
