This is kind of last minute, but if you're in the Los Angeles Area, our friend Diana informs me about the SEIU-ULTCW's Healthy Works Fair + Film + Action event taking place on Monday, September 7, this Labor Day.
There will be three screenings of Michael Moore's documentary Sicko, including one with Chinese subtitles. Following each screening will be speakers, including some members of our own clan -- Judy Chu, Michael Eng, Dr. Paul Song, and Dr. Rishi Manchanda. Here are some details:
HEALTHY WORKS FAIR + FILM + ACTION!Congress heads back to D.C. on Tuesday to continue the debate on health care. You know, the raging debate that's been making people crazy in town halls and conversations all over country. Some people are confused. Some are angry. Some are misinformed.
