we got a little bit of press at the kick-off rally to save IHSS.

By the way, I realize this is a detour from the original mission of Action for IHSS, however in my opinion, we need to focus on saving our paychecks and benefits and put the systemic change on the side burner. Not that we're taking a break; I think that while we have the attention of the entities concerned (IHSS, PA, SEIU) we have to maintain that conversation, but we also need to join with SEIU to fight these cuts. There will be another rally in front of Oakland City Hall on Thursdsay April 2 at noon. Please try to attend. When everyone there wears purple (SEIU color), some people will dismiss it, but if people in wheelchairs, and other folks attend then it appears (rightfully) to be a broader issue than labor.
