Utilities are already a heavy burden on the working people of California, and PG&E\u2019s rates are the most expensive in the country. Now, the average Californian household is facing a $53 increase to their monthly bill this year and small businesses will be hit even harder. This is so that PG&E can pay damages for the deadly fires caused by their negligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PG&E made 2.2$B in profit in 2023 – a 25% increase from the previous year. The CPUC, the body responsible for the public regulation of utility rates, has allowed PG&E to raise rates uncontested for years. We say no more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Info from: PSL<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3.

They will share personal testimonies and lay out their research exposing the reality that right now, the City of St. Francis is a “Sanctuary City” in name only.

What makes California different from other states? The cultural template stamped in the Gold Rush has remained in place ever since: \u201cCome Here, Get Rich\u201d, a dream and location where anything is possible. Or so goes the myth. The reality is more complex. Yes, there was gold, wheat, oil, Hollywood, aerospace, Silicon Valley\u2014recurrent gold rushes still happening today, still making some people rich. But this talk explores the path taken by the vast majority of newcomers\u2014immigrant workers\u2014who perpetually recompose the state\u2019s working class and generate the wealth of the lucky few who grab California\u2019s golden ring. The lens of California labor provides an alternative view of history, the kind that occurs when workers engage in collective action\u2014through unions, politics, strikes, and a variety of organizing strategies seeking common ground among diverse communities to achieve economic fairness and social justice. In the current national resurgence of labor California is once again taking pride of place, with teachers, Hollywood unions, hotel workers and graduate students leading the way. Why did it happen before, and why is it happening now?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Fred Glass served as the communications director for the California Federation of Teachers for nearly thirty years. He taught night classes in labor history at City College of San Francisco until spring 2023.\u00a0<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
He wrote and directed Golden Lands, Working Hands, a ten-part video series on the history of the California labor movement, shown on public television stations in California and distributed to every public high school in the state. His book, From Mission to Microchip: A History of the California Labor Movement, was published by the University of California Press in 2016. A short animated cartoon he wrote and directed, with the voice of Ed Asner, Tax the Rich: An Animated Fairy Tale, received a million YouTube views in 2012 and was the subject of unhappy Fox News commentary. His most recent video is We Mean to Make Things Over: A History of May Day. Fred is a member of AFT Local 2121 and serves on the State Committee of California DSA.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

On The 13th Anniversary Of The Fukushima NUKE Disaster
Don\u2019t Nuke the Pacific Ocean! Protect Our Oceans & Stop The Nukes
On the 13th anniversary of the man made disaster in Fukushima and the catastrophe continues. Over 800 pounds of radioactive waste continues to reside in the broken nuclear plants and it may be 30 years before they are removed and the site is \u201cdecontaminated\u201d. The previous Prime Minister Abe lied to the International Olympics Committee that it had already been \u201cdecontaminated\u201d but this obviously not the case.<\/h1>\n\n\n\nThe Japanese government and TEPCO despite opposition of people in Japan, Asia and around the world is also releasing millions of tons of tritium into the Pacific Ocean. This is contaminating our oceans and the government is not only going forward but is opening more NUKE Plants but is remilitarizing Japan and is sending armaments around the world.
The Japanese Kashida government is working with the US and Korea to militarize Asia and surround China to prepare for war. They are continuing to build and expand US military bases in Okinawa and threatening the people of Japan with the dangerous Osprey helicopters that fly in the middle of major cities and in Okinawa ignoring the dangers to the people of Japan and Okinawa.<\/h1>\n\n\n\nLet us join together to demand the halt to release of tritium water from Fukushima, No restarting NUKE plants and opposing US Korea war militarization in Asia.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
