Sex Workers Rally in San Francisco (audio/mpeg 1.9MB) Sex workers rights groups rallied in San Francisco’s Lower Nob Hill today to oppose the city’s surge in prostitution arrests.

Tell Bush: Support California Farm Workers! 
Farm workers desperately need your help. It's been more than two month's since January's devastating freeze. Approximately 28,000 citrus farm workers may be left jobless--just in Calif.'s San Joaquin Valley alone. These workers are having difficulty feeding their families and paying their rent or mortgages. These low paid workers who have very little savings may be out of work for the next 9 to 12 months. They desperately need federal emergency aid....

Diez años sin Judi Este año se cumplen diez años de la muerte de Judi Bari. Murió en su cabaña en el condado de Mendocino, California, rodeada de su familia, amigos y de las secoyas por las que tanto luchó para mantener en estado salvaje. Este año se cumplen diez de no tener cerca de nosotros a una activista que entendía que no existe una lucha social o una lucha ambiental, que somos parte de un todo y que la protección del bien común no es sólo para continuar con las comodidades que la propiedad privada nos of...

UFCW Local 648 to San Francisco: Don't shop at Bristol Farms! 
Just as I was leaving Bloomingdales this afternoon I couldn't help noticing some strikers on Mission Street holding picket signs. My own experience is that striking is mostly a tedious experience whose most immediate rewards are a sore throat and tired feet. Even in a famous "union town" like San Francisco passerbies will more often than not walk by as if you are invisible. How many people even bother to read a sign or accept a leaflet?
I asked two of the strikers what the strike was a...

UCSC Rallies for 'Wages Not War!' 
On Thursday, February 15, hundreds of students and workers at UC Santa Cruz joined more than two dozen schools across the nation in taking action against war. Locally, this meant calling for a reprioritization of resources to focus on the needs of low-paid service workers rather than on weapons development and war. Poverty-struck workers in the UC system have been promised and allocated money by both the CA state legislature and the UC system itself, yet UC President Robert Dynes has refused ...

UCSC Student Government Resolution for Wage Parity A few weeks ago, the official (Regent-endorsed) student government of UC Santa Cruz, the Student Union Assembly, unanimously approved the following resolution demanding that low-paid workers receive wages in accordance with other nearby institutions. The UC promised thousands of dollars to the lowest paid workers, many of which are members of AFSCME 3299, yet, up to this date, have not released this money.
