Seniors Say *Save Our Services, Tax the Rich*

Retired Californians? Retired from full time employment, perhaps, but in no way retired from community activism!
Just one example: A recent CARA Call to Action supported ILWU members fighting for a first contract with mega pharmacy Rite Aid.

Members of the California Alliance for Retired Americans took a bus from the conference on the afternoon of October 13 to demonstrate in solidarity with the International Longshore and Warehouse Union at a Rite Aid store at the corner of Van Ness and Market Streets. CARA says: "Rite Aid markets to seniors with its *Living More* program. They want our money, but they don't always want to respect workers' rights. And they're not respecting the union in bargaining."

Earlier in the day, CARA members from all over California gathered at San Francisco's Cathedral Hill Hotel to hear political candidates, learn about patient advocate programs, and sing along with the Raging Grannies and the Bay Area Labor Chorus during lunchtime entertainment.
