Haiti Action Committee Emergency Demonstration: Aid, Not Troops! Life, Not Death! As the death count rises in Haiti, the effects of a catastrophic natural disaster are compounded - as in Hurricane Katrina - by political failure, by the consequence of generations of U.S. intervention in Haiti. While thousands of American troops amass in Port-au-Prince, thousands of Haitians are dying from lack of water and medicine, starving while food supplies sit on the airport tarmac. Read more about the military presence. Read more about this event. Location: Corner of Market and Powell Sts. (back to top) |

Do-or-Die Vote On Single Payer in California Today - Come to Sacramento. California has the opportunity to do what the Congress has not been able to do: enact real health care for all Californians. A vote on SB 810 is expected this coming Thursday on the Senate Floor. The Calif Senate must pass SB 810 by Feb. 1 for it to survive. Single Payer is a way, the only way, to give everyone healthcare. And while the State is planning to decimate our needed programs by budget cuts, Single Payer would save the State billions. The Senate vote could be as early as 9 AM. Call Single Payer Now, 415-810-5826, for transportation, either carpool, or bus if there are enough people. A bus costs about $30 per person, please contribute what you're able. (back to top) |
