WorkWeek 1-16-25 The LA Firestorm, Capitalism & Global Catastrophe & Healthcare Workers At SF General On US Israel Genocide

WorkWeek looks at the history of fires in Los Angeles and the global climate crisis in the context of the decline of US capitalism and imperialism. This firestorm could have been predicted but the City, State and country are not protected.

WorkWeek interviews Professor George Wright who grew up in Los Angeles and talks about the disconnect between global warming and the failure of the US capitalist state to prepare for global warning in the context of the largest urban fire in the history of the United States. The same capitalist politicians, both Democrats and Republicans have voted for trillions for war while the planet is warming up threatening millions of people throughout the US and are cutting budgets for firefighting and protecting people and communities. Prison labor is also being used to put out the fires and immigrants who will rebuild Los Angeles are also threatened with the mass deportations at the same time in this.

Next WorkWeek hears from San Francisco General Hospital healthcare workers. On January 6th in a global day of action called by Doctors Against Genocide healthcare workers rallied at San Francisco General Hospital and UCSF and spoke out about the need to release the Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.

He and other doctors who have been arrested and beaten as the last remaining hospital in Gaza was destroyed by the IDF resulting in many deaths of patients and healthcare workers. Over 1000 healthcare workers have been killed and over 150 are presently being jailed by the Israeli government supported by the US government and both Democrats and Republicans.

Healthcare workers spoke out about these genocidal war crimes and called for action in the US and internationally to this immediately.
