If you always wanted to see Woody Guthrie or other seasoned civil rights singers/songwriters  in action, tonight is your night.  

Anne Feeney is bringing her ?Resistance Tour? to Mendocino. In the tradition of Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie, Anne has
been singing her songs and fighting for worker?s right, health care, and women?s rights for years. As Peter Yarrow , of Peter, Paul and Mary 
said, ?She?s a person who lives the spirit of music in the sense of the best songwriters, not simply as an entertainer. She participates 
passionately and with great compassion in struggles for justice.?

The concert starts at 7 PM Sunday evening, and Anne  and her daughter Amy and her friend Kendra will be joining in at times.. 
Also, Anne will be on the KZYX Fred Wooley show around 1 PM today.

> 
> Many criticisms have been leveled against the House-passed American Health Care Act (AHCA) and the Better Care Reconciliation Act- the new Senate health bill offered by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. The unmistakable hallmark of these bills, however, is that they constitute a very cruel war on the poor. By far, no demographic group would be hurt more by these legislative proposals than low-income people. They are the bulls-eye!
> 
> As the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) found, over the next decade the largest cutback in the Senate and House bills are reductions to the safety-net Medicaid program (a $772 billion cut in the Senate bill, and an $834 billion cut in the House bill).
> 
> Additionally, there are significant cuts to the subsidies that were designed to make private insurance premiums and cost-sharing affordable for low- and moderate-income families, with $424 billion cut in the Senate bill and $276 billion cut in the House bill.
> 
> These decreases, which would cause enormous harm to low-income families, are obviously not part of an overall scheme to promote fiscal prudence since both the Senate and House bills lavish huge tax benefits to the rich and special interest groups. The Senate provides $541 billion in such tax benefits, and the House provides $664 billion.
> 
> According to CBO, the proposals in both the Senate and House bills would cause huge numbers of people to become uninsured within a decade. The Senate bill would cause 22 million to lose coverage, and the House bill would force 23 million into the ranks of the uninsured. In total, at least 49 million would be uninsured ? more than the aggregate population of almost half (24) the states in our nation.
> 
> The bottom line is clear: While both the House and Senate bills provide unneeded tax help for wealthier people, the Republicans? war on the poor would cause many and very severe casualties on people with greatest needs. Hopefully senators of good will call for an immediate and complete cease fire.

> ?War on the Poor? is strong language, and sometimes strong language is appropriate to a discussion, even in as sober a journal as Health Affairs. I would use even stronger language. The 6/27/17 Annals of Internal Medicine article ?The Relationship of Health Insurance and Mortality: Is Lack of Insurance Deadly? is the most definitive peer-reviewed publication yet showing that removing healthcare coverage for millions of Americans will lead to thousands of preventable deaths per year. What do we stand for as a nation? This is a murderous bill. The bill, either House or Senate version is a huge tax cut for the wealthy, paid for by the middle class and the poor. Why is there such a rush to pass it without discussion and debate? It appears to me the reason for that is because Senators? wealthy donors want to see the tax cuts. Therefore, you could call this bill not only murderous, but ?Murder for hire.?

> Rob Stone is one of us. He has been a very active participant and a thought leader in PNHP for a couple of decades. His message for us today is that we have to start saying it like it is. The fact that so many Senators are on record as being willing to enact legislation that will kill thousands of Americans in exchange for payments from wealthy donors who want the associated tax cuts, that does constitute ?Murder for hire.?
> 
> The politicians are not alone in this conspiracy. We can no longer accept an ?arm?s length? excuse to allow these wealthy donors to escape blame. The work of Gilens and Page has shown that it is these very individuals who drive the process (link below). They are the ones who are hiring the murderers (though Gilens and Page would confine their rhetoric to benign academic language). And, yes, the members of Congress are murderers when they enact policies that they know will kill people.
> 
> At PNHP we have been gentlepersons as we advocate for policies that will enhance health, reduce physical suffering, and prevent financial hardship for all residents of America (and next, the world). Yet we see policies perpetuated that inflict so much harm (and, by no coincidence, at a great financial cost), and we complain that their policies are wrong and that we have better policies. Is arguing policy enough when it is devoid of warranted intense emotional expression?
> 
> But something has been happening. Americans now understand that the improvements of Obamacare are grossly deficient since too many people are unable to receive or afford the medical care that they need. Bernie Sanders came along and told us that expanding Medicare to include everyone through a single payer system would make health care affordable and accessible to all. Those of us who have long supported those views have joined him a clarion call for health care justice for all.
> 
> Although single payer sounded like a pretty good idea to those who hadn't given it much thought, many were still hoping Trump and the Republicans could bring us health care nirvana through repeal and replace. But now Americans have had a rude awakening in discovering that the repeal and replace movement of the past six years has been a fraud. The Republicans finally had to bring their proposal out from the closet for what they hoped would be quick action before rushing home to pick up their checks from their wealthy donors. But we peeked! The American people have now found out that the replacement would make access and affordability much worse - not at all what they were asking for when they supported the campaign to repeal Obamacare.
> 
> Of course we do not want to change our policy positions on single payer. We have what America needs. But it may help to deliver the message if we turn up the volume on our rhetoric, just like Rob Stone has done in today?s message. However, a crucial caveat is that it is absolutely imperative that we be extremely meticulous in the accuracy of our rhetoric in order to maintain the credibility that we have established. This is not a name calling contest. But when policies kill, we need to say so. If in doubt, don't, but when there is absolutely no doubt, say it.
> 
> Many positive terms have been used in the labeling of legislation in order to hide the negative impact: ?affordable? when health care remains unaffordable, ?better care? when more people lose their care, ?access? when increased financial barriers impair access, and even ?American? when the policies supported are un-American. Although the words themselves are not bad words, they are tarnished when used in dishonest rhetoric (although ?American? still seems to hold its own in spite of current day challenges).
> 
> That said, we cannot let negativity drown out our very positive message of  guaranteed, affordable health care for all - the single payer message. That needs to be front and center, but how do we do that? Well, we are already doing it by having been meticulous with the truth. When we say ?an improved Medicare for all? people understand that we are referring to a revered program that will be further improved and made available to all. Even the term ?single payer? - a neutral technical policy term - has been used extensively as part of the positive message of health care for all.
> 
> With our continued efforts to deliver this very positive message, ?single payer? and ?improved Medicare for all? are rightfully taking their place on the top shelf in the rhetoric library, alongside ?Mom? and ?apple pie? - a nice thought as we celebrate our nation?s birthday.

Subject: [Occupymendocino] A bank complicit in the Rwandan genocide
Message-ID: <CAFGqSt6OKcQCj0aH0QWKT37JdKR0G-M7ktF082wUk0eA3VQHxQ@mail.gmail.com>

* Almost 120.000 SumOfUs members are saying "never again!". Can you add
your name?*
------------------------------

One of the biggest banks in the world could have been complicit in a
genocide that cost the lives of 800,000 people.

*Join us to ensure that financial institutions are held accountable for the
human rights abuses that they could be funding.*
SIGN THE PETITION
<https://act.sumofus.org/go/353811?t=1&akid=31977.1087352.KifoO6>

Ellen,

This is revolting.

In June 1994, in the midst of an arms embargo against Rwanda,*one of
the biggest banks in the world -- BNP Paribas* *--* accepted a request made
by the National Bank of Rwanda.

By doing so,* this French bank may have transferred funds that helped war
criminals buy the weapons that were used in the Rwandan genocide*.

Without the crucial funds transfer that BNP authorized, *80 tons of weapons
would probably never have been delivered to Rwanda and would consequently
not have been used to perpetrate the genocide* of 800,000 Tutsis, many of
whom were women and children.

Call on the French government to get to the bottom of this -- and to
strengthen financial sector regulations so that institutions are held
accountable for their involvement in human rights abuses.
<https://act.sumofus.org/go/353811?t=2&akid=31977.1087352.KifoO6>

BNP could have refused. Another bank refused to transfer the money needed
by Hutu commander Colonel Bagosora for the illegal arms purchase that
violated the UN embargo.

*The French bank could therefore have been the only bank to authorize this
transfer.*

Ellen, with your voice, we can try to make sure this never happens again.

France just elected a new President and legislature. With an international
outcry, we can move the new government to strengthen financial sector
regulations for BNP and others.

Call on the French government to get to the bottom of this -- and to
strengthen financial sector regulations so that institutions are held
accountable for their involvement in human rights abuses.
<https://act.sumofus.org/go/353811?t=3&akid=31977.1087352.KifoO6>

The evidence gathered since 1994 has convinced French NGOs Sherpa,
Collective of Civil Parties for Rwanda (*Collectif des parties civiles pour
le Rwanda* or CPCR), and Ibuka France that *BNP must have known about the
risks, but still approved the transfer.*

The NGOs have now have filed a lawsuit against the bank for complicity in
genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.

*This is unprecedented: it?s the first time something like this has been
filed in France.*

If the facts are confirmed, this legal action would shed light on the
potential responsibility of financial institutions when it comes to war
crimes, and also human rights abuses.

Along with Sherpa, the CPCR and Ibuka France, SumOfUs is demanding that the
financial sector be held accountable. We want everyone to feel confident
that their savings will never be used in a financial transaction enabling
the perpetration of such abuses.

Never again: let?s come out in droves to demand the truth about the funding
of the Rwandan genocide. Will you please help hold the financial sector for
its involvement in human rights abuses?
<https://act.sumofus.org/go/353811?t=4&akid=31977.1087352.KifoO6>

Thanks for all that you do,
Nabil, Fatah, Marie and the team at SumOfUs

Dear friends,

We did it!

Today, a large majority of the governments in the world adopted the treaty on the prohibition of nuclear weapons.

States would not have negotiated and adopted this treaty without ICAN, and I'm so incredibly proud of the hard work ICAN's partner organisations and activists have done around the world to get us here today.





[https://gallery.mailchimp.com/8fea3b2f9c797c5257f8be45c/images/d5d252c7-9722-424a-a2c9-ba24bbffbc55.jpg]


This treaty comprehensively bans nuclear weapons and related activities. We hope that today marks the beginning of the end for nuclear weapons.

We now will work to ensure that all countries committed to international humanitarian law and human rights match their values and words with action. The next step is signing the treaty on 20 September in New York.

Thank you. Today we made history!

EPIC is a great group that has sued Caltrans for trying to run a road through the Sequoias that will kill the drive-through Trees! It is unnecessary and another boondoggle even worse that the Willits Bypass, which cost us $426 Million dollars and barely helped traffic, while damaging the wetlands.

Hi Ann-

For 10 years, we have successfully protected the ancient redwoods in Richardson Grove State Park from Caltrans' destructive highway widening project. Now the project is back on the table, and EPIC and our allies will continue to ensure that the Grove is adequately protected by challenging the project in court.

Environmental groups and local residents today sued the California Department of Transportation for approving a highway-widening project that would damage or destroy 1,000 to 2,000-year-old redwood trees in California?s iconic Richardson Grove State Park, along Highway 101 in Humboldt County.

Today?s lawsuit, filed in Humboldt County Superior Court, challenges the transportation agency?s latest approval of the controversial project.

<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=AkOriiJoO%2FIvtbOw02F3lcnwZ%2Bh5T2An>

The California Fish and Game Commission voted unanimously to adopt findings to support its August 2016 decision that listing the northern spotted owl as a ?threatened? species under the California Endangered Species Act is warranted. At its regularly-scheduled meeting on June 21, 2017 in Smith River, CA, the Commission ratified and formalized its decision that the spotted owl warrants protection and conservation under California State Law, ending a nearly five-year listing process that began in August 2012 with a listing petition brought by EPIC.

?The earth is not dying, it is being killed, and the people responsible have names and addresses.? ? U. Utah Phillips

Combating global climate change and destabilization, and arresting the human-related causes of these are the greatest challenge of our time, perhaps the greatest challenge in human history. Global climate change and destabilization also bring home the fundamental conflicts between our industrial capitalist way of life and world view and the realities of ecological processes and the limits of the natural world.

Tell your Congressional
representatives to <http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=4cgjZ2hABK72Tsdsmyyu06kVpqyScxfP>
oppose H.R. 3053
NOW! ?<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=1WSTQPbSZ2x9k7oN5VAMZjcDxzWQVmw5>

Dear Friend,

Contact your US Representatives NOW<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=dflPDZOtSdqjM9PLpvbeZqkVpqyScxfP> to Vote NO on a nuclear waste bill being rushed through Congress?one of the most dangerous we have seen. U.S. Rep. John Shimkus (R-IL) bill--H.R. 3053, the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 2017 threatens nearly every state with decades of nuclear waste shipments.  The bill passed the House Energy committee two weeks ago, and Congressional leaders are pushing for the House to approve it this month.

Rep. Shimkus' bill would launch thousands of shipments of the deadliest radioactive nuclear waste ever made via truck, train, and/or barge shipments through 45 states, including the hearts of many major cities and farmlands, all headed for Yucca Mountain, Nevada and supposedly ?interim? parking lot dumps. These shipments would pass through 370 of the 435 congressional districts across the U.S.

This dangerous bill must be stopped! Contact your Congressional representatives<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=04yocpq1l6XDoFLM0WrBtXuxTX35%2BZLK> and urge them to VOTE NO on H.R. 3053, the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendment Acts of 2017.

The bill aims to revive the cancelled, unsuitable Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump that is located on sacred Native American land and is incapable of isolating nuclear waste as it is located on high-risk earthquake fault lines and vital water systems.

The bill would legalize the opening of centralized interim storage sites for radioactive waste now proposed in Texas and New Mexico, ultimately creating de facto permanent parking lot dumps for nuclear waste.

This is  a major fight  you can help win<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=CTJUjhrRAcGltZLFKCawE6kVpqyScxfP>! Stopping this bill is of paramount importance to prevent high-level nuclear threats across the country for the next 40 years!  We can't allow Rep. Shimkus and other pro-nuclear legislators to Waste America!

This bill will not just put our nation?s nuclear waste policy on the wrong track--it will step on the gas and tear out the brakes. It ignores environmental concerns, Native American land rights and sovereignty, states? rights to protect their residents and natural resources, and attempts to truncate public review in order to force failed, illusory solutions on the American people: Yucca Mountain and consolidated "interim" storage?both of which have proven to be unworkable. It does nothing to make storing and managing nuclear waste less dangerous, wherever it is.

Rep. Shimkus says he will take this pro-nuclear bill to the House floor in JULY before Congress breaks for the August recess.  We need to prevent this bill from hitting the House floor. Contact your Congressional representatives to VOTE NO<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=341PgUabzqmn%2FXoEDdJdn6kVpqyScxfP>.


Thanks for all you do,

End Big Oil & Gas' License to Pollute in CA


Urge Your Legislator to Oppose Cap-and-Trade<http://act.foodandwaterwatch.org/site/R?i=XZaugR2IZ0HZdoaR8f-ndQ>



Dear Ann,

Big oil companies and Governor Brown are teaming up to ram cap and trade through the California Legislature. Cap and trade is a corporate-friendly scheme that lets billion-dollar oil and gas corporations pay for their pollution instead of requiring them to make real reductions.

California has some of the nation?s worst air quality and is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the United States after Texas. A real solution would require that the fossil fuel industry reduces its pollution at the exact source.

Urge your state legislators to stand up to the fossil fuel industry and oppose cap and trade in California!<http://act.foodandwaterwatch.org/site/R?i=p_sleBggtepzDud35cazTQ>

Pro-fracking Governor Brown has been getting praise for criticizing Trump on climate change, yet his effort to extend cap and trade is a dangerous and false solution to greenhouse gas pollution. Brown and Big Oil have helped craft Assembly Bill 398, a bill that would prolong cap and trade through 2030 and undermine the fight against extreme climate change.

Cap and trade allows refineries and power plants to simply pay for their emissions rather than requiring them to reduce emissions. It is no surprise that the oil and gas lobby is supporting cap and trade since these large corporations, such as Chevron, can easily pay for their emissions with the billions that they rake in every year. Even worse, the bill would prohibit local jurisdictions from setting higher standards!

Studies show that emissions in California have increased or stayed the same from refineries and oil and gas drilling1. If we are serious about avoiding severe climate change impacts, such as droughts and 10 feet of sea-level rise, we have to significantly lower our emissions NOW.

Tell your legislator to stand up to corporate polluters and help put a stop to climate change!<http://act.foodandwaterwatch.org/site/R?i=7M1vshZuLfnNS0N7VTOzOA>

Every year thousands of Californians die from dirty air and thousands more become chronically sick. California has a responsibility to reduce its pollution not only to lead the nation against climate change, but to improve the health of its residents.

Your legislators are being pressured by Brown and the oil and gas lobby to pass a cap-and-trade bill quickly.

While they still don't have the votes they need to pass cap-and-trade legislation, they are working hard in back rooms to pressure legislators to get on board with this pay-to-pollute scheme.

Your legislator needs to hear from you! Let your legislators know that you value clean air and a livable climate, not schemes that poison our communities and threaten our climate.<http://act.foodandwaterwatch.org/site/R?i=Tx9WSPCVQh6FqvJ5-A6rGQ>

Onward Together,

An incredible number of products in the dollar store are labelled as GMO, and it is important that all food manufacturers label them so we can avoid stuff that contains these poisons!  Tests show that lab animals fed GMOs had many health problems!

Urgent: Comment on GE labeling by Monday!

[photo]

USDA regulations will determine whether genetically engineered ingredients are identified on product labels, or hidden behind high tech codes. Genetically engineered (GE) foods pose risks that are not considered by regulators. Consumers have a right to know whether the products they buy contain GE ingredients. This information should be on the product label.

>>>Send your comments to AMS in support of your right to know now!<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=AXNozJPJBJRL6S%2F8bFJUExNkAGRzJEIT>

A ?compromise? bill on labeling genetically engineered food was passed last year, leaving it to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to decide which foods would be labeled, and how they would be labeled. In preparation for drafting regulations, the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) has posed 30 questions regarding the implementation of the law. AMS is accepting input until Monday, July 17. This is a chance to help shape USDA?s proposal.

The law includes labeling options other than on-package labeling, such as QR codes and websites, which would only serve to hide the information this law was passed to provide. It also allows USDA to decide which GE ingredients must be disclosed. Tell USDA:

  *   The definition of ?bioengineering? must include all forms of genetic engineering, including newer forms like CRISPR and RNA interference (RNAi). Definitions should be compatible with those recommended by the National Organic Standards Board.
  *   Each GE ingredient must be identified, including highly refined GE sugars and oils and processed corn and soy ingredients. Even if they are so highly processed that the GE ingredients are present only at undetectable levels in the final product, they are still GE foods.
  *   GE ingredients must be identified on product labels, or product shelves in the case of raw foods. All products required to have labels should include identification of GE ingredients on the label.
  *   There must be no delays in making regulations effective. Manufacturers have already had years? worth of notice and preparation to provide this information, at the state and federal level. Indeed, many major food companies have been labeling for some time.

The most dependable way to avoid GE ingredients is to buy organic, but all consumers have a right to know what is in their food.

>>>Send your comments to AMS in support of your right to know now!<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=XEiz%2BhDSEhJMDy4yKSGzVRNkAGRzJEIT>

You may send the letter as is, or add specific responses to AMS?s 30 questions<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Tj3E%2B1HQ%2BloHjZkCMY9jNRNkAGRzJEIT>. See Beyond Pesticides comments here<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=rrymIO35Gtdo0NJr8jNhWXoSFXn9Xz8v>.


Tell USDA that GE ingredients must be listed on product labels!<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=8yeyW4fZXa51q2zFImIk%2FhNkAGRzJEIT>

Genetically engineered (GE) foods pose risks that are not considered by regulators. Consumers have a right to know whether the products they buy contain GE ingredients. This information should be on the product label.

Dear friends,

Last week we banned nuclear weapons. It still feels a bit surreal to think that we pulled it off.

But what does it all mean? Treaties and international law is sometimes a complex issue, and we've gotten a lot of questions about what the treaty does and how it will work. So we thought we collect the most common questions we get.

What does the treaty prohibit?

The treaty prohibits states from developing, testing, producing, manufacturing, transferring, possessing, stockpiling, using or threatening to use nuclear weapons. It also prohibits them from assisting, encouraging or inducing anyone to engage in any of those activities. In addition, states must not allow nuclear weapons to be stationed or deployed on their territory.

Is the treaty legally binding?

Yep! Once it enters into force, the treaty is legally binding on those states that have signed and ratified it. It is not binding on states that remain outside the treaty though.

When will states sign the treaty?

The treaty will open for signature on 20 September 2017, at the United Nations in New York. It will remain open indefinitely for states to sign. That means that whenever a state is ready to sign, it can do so.

How many states must ratify it before it enters into force?

Fifty states must sign and ratify the treaty before it can enter into legal force. Signing is a relatively simple act performed by the executive branch of a government. Ratifying typically involves a domestic legislative process, such as drafting legislation to bring the prohibition into national law. Once the treaty has entered into force, further states can join it at any stage.

Can a state that possesses nuclear weapons join the treaty?

Yes. It can join the treaty, so long as it agrees to remove them from operational status immediately and destroy them in accordance with a legally binding, time-bound and verifiable plan.

Can a state that hosts nuclear weapons on its territory join the treaty?

A state that hosts another state's nuclear weapons on its territory can join the treaty, so long as it agrees to remove them by a specified deadline.

Is it possible to join this treaty and remain in a military alliance with a nuclear-armed state?

Yes. Nothing in the treaty prevents a state from being in a military alliance with a nuclear-armed state, so long as its participation in that alliance does not include prohibited acts involving nuclear weapons.

Does the treaty establish verification measures or safeguards to ensure that states do not develop nuclear weapons?

Yes, the treaty requires that states that have safeguards under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) keep these agreements, without prejudice to concluding additional ones in the future. For states that do not have safeguards yet, the treaty requires that states conclude an agreement in line with the NPT requirements within 18 months. The treaty does not undermine any obligations that states have made to safeguards under the NPT.

Will the treaty help victims of the use and testing of nuclear weapons?

Yes. States must provide adequate assistance to all victims of the use and testing of nuclear weapons, including medical care, rehabilitation and psychological support. They must also provide for their social and economic inclusion.

The preamble acknowledges the harm suffered as a result of the use and testing of nuclear weapons, including the disproportionate impact of nuclear weapon activities on indigenous peoples. It also recognizes the disproportionate impacts on women and girls.

So, we got the treaty! What will the campaign do now?

The work does not end here. ICAN will now focus on ensuring that this treaty enters into force, gets implemented and creates a strong norm against nuclear weapons that will lead to nuclear disarmament. This is long-term work, it's nothing that will happen over night.

So in the immediate future, we will work to ensure that all countries committed to international humanitarian law and human rights match their values and words with action and sign the treaty on 20 September in New York.

Once that is done, we will start our ratification campaign and make sure 50 states ratifies the treaty quickly so it will officially become international law. We will also work hard in nuclear armed states and nuclear alliance states to change policies and behaviour.

Each step will contribute to strengthening the norm and change of behaviour in states.

Present: John Fremont, Bob Lane, Irene Malone, Dan Baker, Barbara Moller, Sheila Tracy, Ann Rennacker


- Tues 7/25 there is a workshop on the Millsite cleanup of the Millpond and wetlands with DTSC and the City at Town Hall from 2-5pm, and then a meeting with the DTSC, the City Council and the Planning Commission at 6:30-9pm.  This is a chance for the public to make suggestions and comments, pick options they want implemented, and hear the plans being made on the last part of the G/P Millsite cleanup.  It is important that we ask for the best cleanup possible, with no toxins left.


- Finance report on Sheila's concessions at the Anne Feeney event: after reimbursements to Sheila for her out-of-pocket expenses we cleared $88.00. Ann absorbed the cost for things she brought, so with the $10 dues for the meeting room, Ann will deposit $98 into our Peace and Justice account.


- 4th of July Parade in Mendocino was a great success - we had 90 pictures posted on our page and 2 were of our entry, one of Bob driving the Truck with our signs and Banner and one of Sheila singing to the Judges.  We passed out hundreds of Occucards to people on the Parade route with info about Occupy issues.


- There is a Paul Bunyan days Parade in Fort Bragg on 9/3/17, we will discuss at a future meeting.

- Sheila had a complaint about the process on Occupy decisions.


- International Peace Day is Sept 21, and the nominees for our plaque are: Phil Ebert, Parents for Peace and Veterans for Peace.  Last year we named a group, the Women in Black, and the year before a person, Zac Zachary.  We considered picking a group every other year and a person every other year.  We can decide at the next meeting.


- Rod Jones wants to do an event - since the end of the Bernie run for President he has been active with Progressives in the Mobilize Mendocino movement, which has a lot of fired-up young people participating and resisting.  John wants to meet with the group, Ann agrees but Sheila is hesitant.  She wants to ally with Greens.  We can discuss this at a later meeting.


Meeting adjorned - Next meeting 8/5/17 at Sr. Center 12-2.

In case you did not get a copy of the Cleanup plan for the Millpond and wetlands, here is a copy.  Ed, George, Sue, Rex and I spoke to the City Council and they assure us that in spite of connecting the Coastal Trail before cleanup, there will be a thorough cleanup job done with removal of the worst toxic soil and so on - but I see on this paper that there are other "alternatives" they may consider, and so it is important to speak up about removing the wooden dam and spillway to the Ocean, to get the groundwater cleaned (not by "natural attenuation"), and demanding a real thorough cleanup be done.  The workshop is 7/25/17, but you may comment before. Let's not go along with a sloppy job where they leave problems for our future City to deal with!

Democrats should run on a #PeoplesPlatform to take back Congress and transform our democracy. 





 #AllofUs <https://actionnetwork.org/user_files/user_files/000/014/185/original/AllofUs_Logo_Mixed1.png> 

Dear John,

  <https://can2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/data/000/104/441/original/blob> 
Over the past six years, the Democratic Party establishment has lost the presidential election, both houses of Congress, and hundreds of seats in state legislatures. 

Now, the Democratic Party establishment wants to use the same losing formula of moderation and status quo politics in 2018. When asked, the Democratic congressman in charge of creating the party?s message for 2018 recently said, ?That message is being worked on.? If left to their own devices, establishment Democrats are going to run on a stale agenda created by wealthy donors and out-of-touch consultants. 

We have a historic opportunity to take back Congress and get rid of Trump. But the Democrats need to run on a bold, popular agenda that will provide the American people what they need to thrive: healthcare, education, jobs and safety. 

That's why we?re joining with our allies to push House Democrats to cosponsor a #PeoplesPlatform. The platform calls for Medicare for All, tuition-free college, an end to private prisons, a $15 national minimum wage, a tax on Wall Street, and a clean energy economy. The platform helps make real the revolutionary promise of our democracy: freedom and justice for all. 

Add <http://click.actionnetwork.org/mpss/c/5AA/ni0YAA/t.295/_z7fy6rMRYiVBkROx-UDEw/h1/WQ-2BlIwq7W2eCmkkcwbDiBV0Frf8aO-2BhheoIczpshG3ARDb3Ik3S-2BZEe2Cj-2B-2F088oJisIEd7ogszG7aaGgoBgX7RFCMSi6ZnKPNnkuNkrRQxjr0suOvvNx02GY02nb-2BjQbBeQMy-2BBQDyJKQYlUerzPS6GAXzR9B8RDEbEAH0ZJnCbKkhhq-2FAhotMfvKE8ucyr-2BN2zvuM7Q5jvMsmmIng2I8DzFMOzyLaoHKSIBpQ3AJ85wt-2BuZ9Qe37REOa2miW2TNEl-2BmgpdAzZdUhD57hAyb1LdpwhP3qHtQ2Z0muJkZh8Yt7vvwPUnQUF-2FMs2VJVBX>  your name to the #PeoplesPlatform and tell Democrats in Congress to fight to create an America for all of us.

We are delivering your petitions to the Democratic National Committee Headquarters in Washington DC on July 25th. Add your name right now.

In the richest country in the world, every American could have the things we need to thrive. But, for too long, the political establishment has sided with their Wall Street donors instead of the people whose votes they count on to win. Now, they think simply saying ?No? to Trump is enough to inspire us and win elections. 

But there is a better way: the #PeoplesPlatform is made up of 8 progressive bills that have been introduced in Congress. We?ve teamed up with Our Revolution, Brand New Congress, and many more to organize a Summer of Progress to push Democrats to support these bills. The #PeoplesPlatform is the bold, progressive agenda Democrats need to take back Congress and the Presidency in 2020.

If Democrats want to win in 2018 and beyond, they need to fight for all Americans and promise to fight for the people -- not their corporate donors. This summer is our chance to make sure Democrats campaign on a winning message and platform. 

Thanks for all you do,

> Is the U.S. Ready for a Single-Payer Health Care System?
> By Sandro Galea
> 
> Ironically, as congressional Republicans have been trying to replace the Affordable Care Act, the ACA?s popularity is at an all-time high, and the majority of Americans now believe that it is the federal government?s responsibility to provide health care for all Americans. This shift in sentiment suggests that a single-payer system ? a ?Medicare for all? ? may soon be a politically viable solution to America?s health care woes.
> 
> This system has long been an aspiration of the far left, yet even the right now seems to acknowledge its growing likelihood.
> 
> Although congressional Republicans remain uncomfortable with universal coverage as a concept, some seem to understand that the American people are coming to see health care as a right. It is very difficult to imagine how universal coverage could be sustainable over the long run without a central payment system.
> 
> While there may be openings for bipartisan compromise to address the weaknesses of the ACA,  the core of the ACA framework is unstable ? a hostage to the market and political fortune. By contrast, a single-payer model stands to be much more durable and provides a chance to build a health care system around the well-being of patients rather than the profits of providers and insurers.
> 
> Opponents warn that a single-payer model could lead to a wholesale bureaucratization of the health care system by the federal government, or even to socialized medicine.
> 
> But are these concerns warranted? Doctors who fear losing their autonomy need only look north to see how a single-payer system can work without encroaching on the independence of physicians. Canada has had a single-payer model for decades, and there?s no government takeover of its health care system in sight. Most services are still provided by the private sector, and most physicians are still self-employed. While health expenditures remain high, Canadians nevertheless enjoy better health outcomes at lower cost than the United States, whose population?s health is mediocre despite ever-higher spending on medical care.
> 
> Canada?s success stems from a few basic tenets. Its system is structured around a federal requirement to provide coverage for necessary services such as doctor and hospital visits. While the cost of this care is covered by the taxpayer, the task of providing it is decentralized to each of the country?s 13 provinces and territories. Each region has wide latitude to innovate ? as long as it honors the basic guarantee of providing free point-of-care treatment to all citizens for certain essential services, funded through a central payer. This is an important point. The single-payer approach is often characterized as a gateway to Byzantine regulation. Yet the reality is it is a fundamentally simple, even elegant, concept: Everybody gets the coverage that everybody pays for. Within this framework, there is much room for maneuver.
> 
> If implemented correctly, a centralized payment structure can create a health care system that is genuinely organized around health. It may seem counterintuitive to suggest that the U.S. system is not organized around health, but this truth has long been obvious to anyone who follows this issue or to anyone who has ever had to seek care in a time of need. Over and over, we have seen how the U.S. health care system produces a vast array of increasingly expensive drugs and treatments that few can access without high-quality insurance.
> 
> Decades of opposition have tinted Americans? view of a single-payer system?s potential. But there is no reason to think that the status quo is immutable. It did not, after all, come about organically; it is the product of years of influence strategically wielded by powerful stakeholders in business, medicine, and politics. These stakeholders were able to advance their agenda in large part because Americans had not come to view health care as an essential collective right. This is changing. Turning this growing view into policy will require a national agreement that health care is a value worth paying for. The country is not there yet, but it no longer feels that far off.
> 
> 
> Sandro Galea, MD, is the Robert A. Knox professor and dean of the Boston University School of Public Health.

> ===
> 
> 
> Comment by Don McCanne
> 
> This article is of significance not only because it states well the rationale of the single payer model of health care reform, but it also demonstrates the high level of acceptance that the concept has attained, both by having been written by the dean of the Boston University School Public Health and by having been published in one of the more prestigious publications in the business community - Harvard Business Review.
> 
> Single payer is a concept that is here to stay. The only question remaining regarding its enactment and implementation is when.

A behind the scenes look into our work.

Historic Nuclear Weapons Prohibition Treaty Adopted

Capping a years-long diplomatic effort to highlight the catastrophic impacts of nuclear weapons, more than 120 states negotiated and adopted the first-ever global treaty prohibiting the possession, development, use or threat of use, or stationing of nuclear weapons at a special conference held at the United Nations in New York July 7.

The new Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW)<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=11deab2a4c&e=da39f1671a> marks a turning point in the seven-decade-long struggle to reduce and eliminate the dangers posed by nuclear weapons.

Throughout the four and a half weeks of talks, Arms Control Association staff were on-site, engaging with key governments and other civil society groups on key provisions of the treaty. Our main goals were to help ensure the text was as technically sound as possible, consistent with the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) and the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), and to ensure that the negotiations and the outcome were accurately reported by the mainstream press.

At the negotiations in New York, I was joined by our research assistant Alicia Sanders-Zakre who posted regular updates via Twitter<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=2f4202657b&e=da39f1671a> and provided in-depth analysis of the talks through her ?Banning the Bomb"<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=aaccb37370&e=da39f1671a> blog posts on our website.

As I described in our July 7 press release<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=238ac9d282&e=da39f1671a> and outlined in interviews with The New York Times<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=d3183b8b01&e=da39f1671a> and Politico<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=36c9d49db4&e=da39f1671a>, the new treaty is imperfect but a historic step forward. While its immediate impact may be limited, we hope that it will help reinforce the legal and political norms against nuclear weapons possession and use, and also spur much needed action on additional nuclear risk reduction and disarmament measures.

Obviously there is much more to do to achieve further progress and to guard against new and existing threats?of which there are many.

As always, thanks for your help and support,

Congressional Debates on Arms Control Loom

The future of U.S. nuclear weapons and missile defense policy is at a crossroads. The Trump administration is conducting comprehensive<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=28c21d315a&e=da39f1671a> reviews<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=7fa0be7c94&e=da39f1671a>?scheduled to be completed by the end of the year?that could result in significant changes to U.S. nuclear policy.

In addition, the House and Senate Armed Services Committee versions of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) include provisions that if passed into law would deal a major blow to longstanding, bipartisan arms control efforts, including the 1987 Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, the 2010 New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START), and the CTBT. Consideration of the bills will continue into August.

Our team is working overtime with other colleague organizations to counter unhelpful legislative proposals and to build support for pragmatic alternatives.

For an overview, see the latest Issue Brief<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=7453127e5e&e=da39f1671a> from our director for disarmament policy Kingston Reif.

CTBT Under Assault from ?Pro-Testers? in Congress

Despite the United States? longstanding support for a global nuclear test moratorium, House and Senate Republicans, led by Rep. Joe Wilson and Sen. Tom Cotton, are pushing for the adoption of legislation<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=841794c429&e=da39f1671a> that would ?restrict? funding for the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization and put into question the U.S. commitment as a signatory to the CTBT not to conduct nuclear tests. The House has already adopted the legislation as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act; the Senate will debate the amendment when it considers the National Defense Authorization Act next week.

This legislation runs contrary to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson?s joint statement<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=d2b409fe73&e=da39f1671a> with other G-7 foreign ministers this April which noted in part that all nations ?should maintain all existing voluntary moratoria? on all nuclear test explosions, and ?recalls? UN Security Council Resolution 2310, which recognized the CTBT as an important contribution to nuclear nonproliferation and disarmament and the CTBTO as being essential to verifying compliance with the global test ban.

The Arms Control Association team is actively lobbying Capitol Hill to highlight the dangers posed by the Wilson-Cotton amendment and to build better support and understanding about the CTBT and the CTBTO.

As part of our ongoing outreach and education work on the CTBT, Program and Policy Associate Shervin Taheran and Georgetown Law School student Brenna Gautam, both members of the CTBTO Youth Group, blogged daily updates on our Project for the CTBT website about the CTBTO?s June Science and Technology conference in Vienna, the work of the CTBTO Youth Group and civil society, and capacity-building initiatives.

Toward a Diplomatic Solution to the DPRK Crisis

With the July 4 flight test of a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), the North Korean nuclear crisis has taken on an even greater degree of urgency. We are accelerating our ongoing efforts to build support for effective diplomatic engagement with North Korea to halt and reverse its nuclear and missile programs.

In a special Arms Control Association briefing<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=f6b22e0764&e=da39f1671a> for journalists following South Korean President Moon Jae-in?s meeting with President Donald Trump last month, Senator Edward Markey (D-Mass.) and former Secretary of Defense William J. Perry outlined a pragmatic strategy for coordinated U.S.-South Korean efforts to address the growing threat posed by North Korea?s actions.

"The Trump administration should adopt a strategy of active and direct diplomatic engagement with North Korea," stated Markey, with "rigorous sanctions enforcement by China and a robust military deterrence posture."

"There is no guarantee diplomacy will work," Perry cautioned. "But there are no good military options."

Last month, Arms Control Association members and supporters joined with other advocates from 10 other national organizations in urging a diplomatic approach to engagement with the regime. Over 73,000 signatures were delivered to President Moon showing broad American support for his pledge to engage in talks with North Korea to halt and eventually reverse its nuclear program.

We also continue to brief key House and Senate staff and members on the North Korean nuclear challenge and effective policy solutions. The North Korea Working Group?convened by the Arms Control Association, the Ploughshares Fund, and the National Committee on North Korea?works with other leading advocacy, research, and grassroots organizations to engage officials, coordinate grassroots advocacy efforts, and build high-level support for a diplomacy designed to halt and reverse North Korea?s dangerous nuclear and missile pursuits.

Together, we are sending a loud and clear message to both the U.S. and South Korean governments that the American people support diplomacy with North Korea over conflict.

Iran Nuclear Deal Still Working, But Is At Risk

Two years ago, negotiators from Iran and six world powers concluded marathon talks on the Iran nuclear deal. Despite the success of the historic 2015 agreement, which verifiably limits Iran?s nuclear potential in exchange for sanctions relief, the Trump administration is threatening to unravel the deal?which could lead to Iran breaking out of the nuclear limits, which could set off another crisis in the already troubled Middle East.

As our nonproliferation policy director Kelsey Davenport explains<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=ad9dc6bf56&e=da39f1671a>, the Iran nuclear deal was and remains a major nonproliferation success.

But this week, news reports indicate that Trump tried to ?decertify? Iran?s compliance with the agreement, but was overruled by his national security advisors. Such a move could trigger the reimposition of nuclear-related sanctions by Congress, and the unraveling of the multilateral agreement. The next deadline for certifying Iranian compliance with the nuclear deal is in October.

The White House has also said Trump is urging other countries not to engage in trade with Iran, a policy that is clearly inconsistent with the terms of the Iran deal. As Daryl Kimball told The Washington Post<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=f2b434f5f6&e=da39f1671a>, Trump?s actions only embolden Iranian hardliners who are pressing Iranian President Hassar Rouhani to retaliate by exceeding Iran?s nuclear restrictions.

We will continue to lead nongovernmental efforts to guard against unwarranted attacks on the Iran nuclear deal and watchdog compliance by Iran, the United States, and the other parties.

Board Spotlight: Thomas Countryman

[Thomas Countryman]On June 2, we welcomed six new members to the Arms Control Association board of directors, among them, former Acting Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Thomas Countryman.

"In arms control, as in other fields of public policy,  the role of NGOs is to be an incubator of new policy ideas, and to provide an objective view of the consistency and effectiveness of government actions," Tom noted about the work of organizations such as the Arms Control Association.

Tom was a career member of the Senior Foreign Service, achieving the rank of minister-counselor, and served as acting undersecretary for arms control and international security, a position to which he was appointed Oct. 9, 2016. He simultaneously served as assistant secretary for international security and nonproliferation, a position he had held since September 2011. As acting undersecretary, Tom advised the Secretary of State on arms control, nonproliferation, disarmament and political-military affairs.

Prior to his position as assistant secretary, he served as the principal deputy assistant secretary for political-military affairs, deputy assistant secretary for European affairs, and as the foreign policy adviser to the Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps. From 1994-1997, he was responsible for advising Ambassador Madeline Albright on Middle East affairs at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, and served as liaison with the UN Special Commission investigating Iraq?s weapons programs. Since being elected to the Board, Tom has been interviewed by The Guardian<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=0fb55dcfda&e=da39f1671a>, Voice of America<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=4014ec49ab&e=da39f1671a>, CNN, and NBC News<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=6fd3392086&e=da39f1671a>.

Bail targets the poor!

[Kamala Harris]
Ann:

Earlier today, I introduced new legislation with Republican Senator Rand Paul to incentivize states to reform their broken bail systems.

It is outrageous that someone is released from custody before their trial based on whether they can afford to write a check, not based on whether they present a serious risk to their community.

It isn?t right -- and it?s not fair, particularly for black and Latino defendants who are disproportionately hurt by this failed policy.

An op-ed that we wrote together is below. I hope you take a moment to read it this afternoon and share it with your friends and family as a way to help create a powerful coalition of people -- across both parties -- who will fight to restore faith to our broken criminal justice system.

________________________________

Kamala Harris and Rand Paul: To Shrink Jails, Let?s Reform Bail

Kalief Browder, a 16-year-old New Yorker, was arrested on charges of stealing a backpack in 2010. To ensure he would show up for trial, and because of a previous offense, the judge set bail at $3,000. But his family could not afford to pay. So Mr. Browder was sent to jail on Rikers Island to await his day in court. He spent the next three years there before the charges were dismissed. Haunted by his experience, Mr. Browder hanged himself in 2015.

Our justice system was designed with a promise: to treat all people equally. Yet that doesn?t happen for many of the 450,000 Americans who sit in jail today awaiting trial because they cannot afford to pay bail.

Whether someone stays in jail or not is far too often determined by wealth or social connections, even though just a few days behind bars can cost people their job, home, custody of their children ? or their life.

As criminal justice groups work to change sentencing and mandatory minimum laws, we must also reform a bail system that is discriminatory and wasteful.

Excessive bail disproportionately harms people from low-income communities and communities of color. The Supreme Court ruled in Bearden v. Georgia in 1983 that the Constitution prohibits ?punishing a person for his poverty,? but that?s exactly what this does. Nine out of 10 defendants who are detained cannot afford to post bail, which can exceed $20,000 even for minor crimes like stealing $105 in clothing.

Meanwhile, black and Latino defendants are more likely to be detained before trial and less likely to be able to post bail compared with similarly situated white defendants. In fact, black and Latino men respectively pay 35 percent and 19 percent higher bail amounts than white men.

This isn?t just unjust. It also wastes taxpayer dollars. People awaiting trial account for 95 percent of the growth in the jail population from 2000 to 2014, and it costs roughly $38 million every day to imprison these largely nonviolent defendants. That adds up to $14 billion a year.

Bail is supposed to ensure that the accused appear at trial and don?t commit other offenses in the meantime. But research has shown that low-risk defendants who are detained more than 24 hours and then released are actually less likely to show up in court than those who are detained less than a day.

It is especially troubling that our bail system does not keep us safer. In a study of two large jurisdictions, nearly half of the defendants considered ?high risk? were released simply because they could afford to post bail.

Our bail system is broken. And it?s time to fix it.

That?s why we?re introducing the Pretrial Integrity and Safety Act to encourage states to reform or replace the bail system.

This should not be a partisan issue.

First, our legislation empowers states to build on best practices. Kentucky and New Jersey, for instance, have shifted from bail toward personalized risk assessments that analyze factors such as criminal history and substance abuse. These are better indicators of whether a defendant is a flight risk or a threat to the public and ought to be held without bail.

Colorado and West Virginia have improved pretrial services and supervision, such as using telephone reminders so fewer defendants miss court dates and end up detained.

These nudges work. Over the second half of 2006, automated phone call reminders in Multnomah County, Oregon, resulted in 750 people showing up in court who otherwise may have forgotten their date.

Instead of the federal government mandating a one-size-fits-all approach, this bill provides Department of Justice grants directly to the states so each can devise and carry out the most effective policies, tailored for its unique needs.

Enabling states to better institute such reforms also honors one of our nation?s core documents, the Bill of Rights. In drafting the Eighth Amendment, which prohibits excessive bail, the founders sought to protect people from unchecked government power in the criminal justice system.

Second, our bill holds states accountable. Any state receiving support must report on its progress and make sure that reforms like risk assessments are not discriminatory through analyses of trends and data. This will show that it?s possible to demand transformation, transparency and fairness.

Finally, this bill encourages better data collection. Data on the pretrial process is notoriously sparse. By collecting information on how state and local courts handle defendants, we can help guarantee that reforms yield better outcomes.

The Pretrial Justice Institute, an organization that works to change unfair and unjust pretrial practices, estimates that bail reform could save American taxpayers roughly $78 billion a year. More important, it would help restore Americans? faith in our justice system.

Here are the comments from Glen Young, the city of FB?s toxicologist. They?re good.

Our Fort Bragg Union members staged a protest in front of Town Hall and stood up for a fair contract with the City this month.  Is it a coincidence that the City attorney, Samantha Zetler of Oakland, will step down and not be the mouthpiece for Linda Ruffing any more? She was getting an amazing amount of City money!

Fort Bragg Members Show Strength in Unity

Last month Fort Bragg members voted to ensure that they have the power necessary to fight for a fair contract and against unfair treatment at work. Workers voted to have everyone pays their fair share of the costs of bargaining, contract enforcement, and representation from which all employees benefit.

"We are a small group of members, but we are united in having a stronger voice at our worksites. We?re standing up together for fair wages and benefits. Winning agency shop is a small part of this effort, " says Jim Geokler a Bargaining Team member, and Lead Treatment Plant Operator at Fort Bragg?s WasteWater Treatment Plant.

The fight is not over. It is time to step up.

This afternoon the Senate voted to advance a disastrous and overwhelmingly unpopular healthcare bill. While this was a procedural vote, it moves us closer to the repeal of the Affordable Care Act and the loss of healthcare for 22 million people.

While it?s not clear if Senate leadership has the necessary votes to repeal the ACA, it?s abundantly clear what we must do: keep up the pressure to protect affordable healthcare, essential healthcare and Medicaid for seniors, children and people with disabilities.

It?s time for a bipartisan solution that fixes what needs to be fixed to provide quality, affordable healthcare for everyone in America.

In the meantime,call your member of Congress NOW at 866-426-2631 to stop a healthcare disaster.

[https://gallery.mailchimp.com/1208705e860fa6eccbdaa2f0a/images/4fc582fa-4392-432d-a749-2becc4fb6514.jpg]On June 25, 1877, workers and community members staged our nation?s first general strike in St. Louis in support of striking railroad workers.

The strike was successful but was broken when some 3,000 federal troops and 5,000 deputized special police killed at least eighteen people in skirmishes around the city.

[Bears Ears 57000 Acres]<http://wg.convio.net/site/R?i=JFYx9RMaU24n68sSO2kh0w>

Dear Ann,

It?s becoming all too clear why President Trump has attacked our National Monuments.

This month, Trump and his Secretary of the Interior, Ryan Zinke, announced plans to auction off more than 57,000 acres of our public lands for fracking right next to the Bears Ears National Monument in Southern Utah.

This is where your voice matters most. Speak out today to defend our sacred public lands and resist the oil and gas industry?s attempts to despoil the Bears Ears<http://wg.convio.net/site/R?i=bQy7Kw05bOT0rkWCTbuw0g>.

The Bears Ears National Monument is our nation?s newest Monument and a cultural treasure. It?s deep canyons, iconic buttes, and Ancestral Puebloan ruins are unmatched and they?re a majestic symbol of American history and our legacy of public lands.

Apparently, though, Trump and Zinke couldn?t care less about reverence for the sacred.

They?ve not only indicated they intend to lift protections for the Bears Ears, now they?re greasing the skids for companies to come in and frack.

Send a letter today in defense of Bears Ears and in support of the American West<http://wg.convio.net/site/R?i=yO6NDP_WI4mScLLdVukLIg>. Tell Trump and Zinke that we won?t tolerate their schemes to sell our public lands to the oil and gas industry.

Because it?s not just our lands, it?s also our climate and our clean energy future at risk.

Every acre of public lands auctioned to the oil and gas industry for fracking leads to 10 metric tons of carbon pollution every year. With 26 million acres already sold to the companies like BP and Exxon, we can?t afford one more acre to be given away.

Defend the Bears Ears National Monument and our climate from fracking<http://wg.convio.net/site/R?i=irkThWA4PwjttCk2pL42iQ>. Stand up to the oil and gas industry and their cronies, Trump and Zinke.

Thank you.

For the wild,

[Jeremy Nichols]

P.S.  Zinke?s plans also threaten Recapture Canyon, a spectacular area full of rich cultural history<http://wg.convio.net/site/R?i=gf-yJXvjLMgXWC3RJaiUGg>.  While this Canyon is closed to motorized vehicles, it could be opened up to the oil and gas industry, destroying its cultural heritage.

P.P.S.  Unbelievably, the oil and gas industry has described the Bears Ears National Monument as an ?obstacle? to development<http://wg.convio.net/site/R?i=fxDLQ1PpfMoZ2EGDeM7bcQ>. Only by rising up and pushing back will we have a chance to keep Bears Ears and other sacred lands safe from fracking.

Subject: a rapid letter writing campaign

Hello All,

Last night at the DTSC meeting, Tom Lanphar stated clearly that we need an informative letter writing campaign to help DTSC formulate a strong response to G-P?s proposals for the mill pond and the south ponds. We must state, over and over, that "we do not accept" the G-P proposal. "Community Acceptance" is supposed to be central to the CalEPA criteria.

Can we get thousands of e-mails sent to Tom by August 15th? Perhaps from far and wide - not just the coastal community? This could be crucial in effecting the best possible outcome. Can we use social media to promote an e-mail effort?  This isn?t all we need to do, but it could be crucial in effecting the best possible outcome. Tom has to formulate the DTSC response to G-P?s Draft Feasibility Study by the end of August. This DTSC response will be sent to G-P to consider, or reject or just dither around with.

NOW is the time to make our positions clear. This is analogous to the question of gaining ?standing? in an EIR. If we wait for many months, it will be too late. This long delay is G-P?s prerogative, and probably they will take as long as they can. We learned last night it could be as long as nine months, but then we will be told, ?why didn?t you come forward with these issues sooner?? Totally disingenuous, but this is just what they will do. Never mind that they have delayed this process in every imaginable way for 15 years!

Please address all responses to NHUDG - <nhudg at mcn.org<mailto:nhudg at mcn.org>>

In the months following we can figure out additional ways to put on pressure. As was pointed out, last night, our case will be much stronger if we can formulate a clearer picture of what our community really wants.

Last night went well, if you feel like writing Tom immediately here is his e-mail: TLanphar at dtsc.ca.gov<mailto:TLanphar at dtsc.ca.gov>
He made it clear he would prefer e-mail. If you do, please remember ?EQ, T and SLR.? i.e. earthquake, tsunami and sea level rise.

Many thanks,

George

The private prison industry is cashing in on a Trump Presidency. And Jamie Dimon is the first in line to collect his check.

Tell Chase to stop pushing Trump's agenda.

Ann,

JPMorgan Chase is positioning itself to cash in on the Trump agenda in big way.

The Trump administration has ushered in an era of privatized mass incarceration and Chase, as one the most consistent financiers of the for-profit detention industry, is poised to directly profit from Trump?s policies.

Tell Chase to stop pushing Trump's agenda<https://act.sumofus.org/go/354690?t=2&akid=32922%2E42337%2Egb9k5q>

Chase is a financier, underwriter, and bond-holder of GEO Group and Core Civic (formerly Corrections Corporation of America), two of the biggest for-profit prison and detention center corporations in the country.

Private prisons are a $70 billion dollar industry that has been greatly rewarded by the Trump Agenda. The day after Donald Trump won the election on his anti-immigrant platform, the stock price of the country?s largest private detention center jumped 43 percent and almost immediately after Trump?s inauguration his DOJ rescinded the Obama administration?s order to phase out federal private prison.

While Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is publicly pro-immigrant, Chase?s investments and affiliations say otherwise. Chase is not only poised to benefiting from Trump?s policies -- it?s aiding and legitimizing Trump?s agenda through its participation in Trump?s Business Advisory Council where Jamie Dimon sits as an advisor.

Tell JPMorgan Chase to stop furthering Trump's agenda.<https://act.sumofus.org/go/354690?t=3&akid=32922%2E42337%2Egb9k5q>

Private prisons spend millions of dollars lobbying Congress for higher bail amounts, are rampant with violence and sexual harassment, and disproportionately lock up vulnerable communities of color. The majority of private prison contracts include a lockup quota, because private companies can?t make money from a vacant cell. It?s no surprise that, despite the fact that US contains less than 5% of the world?s overall population, it possesses a quarter of the world?s prison population.

But we can push Chase. We?ve gotten other CEOs to dump Trump in the past, and Chase is no different. Corporations are extremely susceptible to public pressure. Just earlier this year, former CEO of Uber and CEOs of Tesla and Disney were all forced to step down from Trump?s Business Advisory Council after almost 100,000 of you made your voices heard. Chase is the largest consumer bank in the United States which means they are particularly susceptible to consumer pressure. So if you act now, we can do the same with Dimon and JPMorgan Chase.

Demand that JPMorgan Chase divest from private prisons and cut ties with Trump.<https://act.sumofus.org/go/354690?t=4&akid=32922%2E42337%2Egb9k5q>

Thanks for all that you do,

Reem, Nicole, and the team at SumOfUs

Give this guy a black cape at night and he'd easily pass for the

This guy, whose calling card is how much he purports to be on top of
everything, now claims as his defense that he had NO idea what the
Russian collusion meeting was all about. Except that by his own
admission he manufactured a ruse to get out of there the instant he
determined it was not what he THOUGHT it would be about.

Apparently there was not enough collusion for him. Boring!

Oh, yeah, and his assistant signed his name to his security clearance
disclosure form in four places by accidentally clicking a mouse too
quickly.

This is the guy who schemed with the Russians to try to set up a back
channel running through THEIR communications to elude our own
intelligence agencies.

This is the guy who met with a Russian banker with direct Kremlin
ties to bargain for a bailout of his grossly overvalued Manhattan
real estate lemon.

This guy makes Machiavelli's prince look like a Sunday School
teacher.

This guy in fact is intensely on top of everything, the last guy to
not know what as in that email chain. He was the prime mover in the
firing of Comey. He is crediting with running the digital operation
that got Trump elected. He is everywhere and in everything.

And he is quite possibly the most evil man in America at this moment,
surpassing even Trump himself in this regard. But just like Trump, he
is absolutely and ruthlessly out for only himself. Trump says he
considers Kushner like a son. And we already know what kind of apples
fall from that tree.

Some days we rail against the Democrats for not really getting behind
single payer, despite 60% of the American people already favoring it.
We must above all have a positive agenda, to take back control of our
government.

Some days we encourage you to keep up the resistance against the
escalating constitutional crisis of the Trump gang. Today is one of
the latter.

Make a meaningful demonstration of your resistance with any or all of
our visual message items.

John ?

Thanks so much for your ongoing support.

Let me take this opportunity to give you an update as to what's been happening in recent weeks.

As you all know, the disastrous Republican "health care" proposals have, for the moment at least, been defeated. They were defeated because millions of Americans stood up and fought back. They made phone calls and sent emails, letting members of Congress know how they felt. They got their friends involved in the struggle by utilizing social media. They attended town hall meetings. They went to rallies, including some that I attended in Michigan, Maine, Nevada, Arizona, West Virginia, Ohio, Utah, Pennsylvania and Kentucky.

And in poll after poll, an overwhelming majority of the American people were absolutely clear about their opposition to these destructive plans:

No. We will not be throwing 32 million, 23 million, 22 million or 16 million Americans off of health insurance in order to give tax breaks to the rich and large corporations, and to further the right wing extremist ideology of the Koch brothers.

No. We will not be cutting Medicaid by $800 billion, raising premiums for older workers, defunding Planned Parenthood and making it almost impossible for people with pre-existing conditions to get affordable insurance.

Needless to say, while we have won at least a temporary victory by defeating horrific Republican proposals, that is not good enough. We need to go on the offensive, not simply remain in a defensive posture.

The status quo is not satisfactory. Too many Americans continue to have no health insurance. Too many are paying premiums, deductibles and co-payments that are much too high. Too many cannot afford the outrageously high cost of prescription drugs they need. Too many cannot gain access to high quality primary health care or dental care, even when they have insurance. Our goal is not complicated, and it is not radical. It is to have the United States join every other industrialized country on earth in guaranteeing health care for all. Health care must not be considered as a privilege or a commodity. It is a human right to which every man, woman and child is entitled.

Our goal is to create a rational, cost-effective health care system. Today in the United States, we are spending almost $10,000 a year per person on health care. This is absurd and unsustainable. We must not continue a system which is, by far, the most expensive, wasteful and bureaucratic in the world.

Our goal is to put health care dollars into disease prevention and the provision of health care, not insurance company profits, not outrageous salaries for health industry CEOs, not advertising, not billing, not lobbying or campaign contributions.

Our goal is to move this country to a Medicare-for-all, single-payer system.

Let me be clear. This will be an enormously difficult and prolonged struggle, and one which will require the efforts of tens of millions of Americans in every state in this country. It will, in fact, require a political revolution in which the American people participate in the political process in a way that we have not seen in the recent history of our democracy.

In order to pass a Medicare-for-all, single payer system we will be taking on the most powerful special interests in the country: Wall Street, the insurance companies, the drug companies, the corporate media, the Republican Party and the establishment wing of the Democratic Party. In opposition to our efforts there will be a never-ending barrage of TV ads, editorials, political attacks and lies.

If we are going to be successful in this struggle, we have got to be smart ? very smart. Not only do we need strong legislation (which I will be offering shortly and an outline of which I will be sending to you), but we need an unprecedented organizing and educational campaign.

How do we counter the lies and distortions against Medicare-for-all that is sure to come? How do we make certain that all of us ? men and women, gay and straight, black, white, Latino, Asian-American, Native American -? are in this struggle together? How do we bring young and healthy people to stand alongside the elderly, the sick and the poor?

The battle that we are undertaking is enormous and unprecedented in the modern history of our country. Please send us your ideas as to how we can best go forward. Please give us your vision of what a humane and rational health care system looks like. Please share your experiences with the current system. Please help us map out an effective political strategy.

We are in this together. We need everyone's ideas.

Thanks again for your support and all that you are doing.

In solidarity,

Bernie
