The California Alliance for Retired Americans (CARA) held a conference in San Francisco on October 13th. CARA unites retired workers and community groups to win social and economic justice.

Members of CARA took a bus from the conference on the afternoon of October 13th 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.
