It is an outrage that our FBI and police attack the defenders of our environment, and stop protesters from objecting to the destruction of Parklands, National Monuments and public lands being exploited by Corporations for pipeline construction, extraction of minerals and spoiling waterways. Public lands belong to we, the people.  And Indigenous people should not be attacked for being water protectors!

Hi folks,

Hope this finds everyone up in Mendo doing well!

Thought you'd all be interested to know (if you didn't already) that I recently co-authored a story at The Intercept that's been making some waves, called "Leaked Documents Reveal Counterterrorism Tactics Used at Standing Rock to ?Defeat Pipeline Insurgencies."

Hi, 

Right now, 130 million girls around the world are being denied an education
and, because of that, the chance to reach their full potential.

The leaders of the worlds 20 biggest economies are meeting soon in Hamburg,
Germany. 

I just asked them to do something about this crisis. Will you join me?

Dear Friends of Public Banking,
This weeks issue of The Nation included a story entitled "What if People
Owned the Banks Instead of Wall Street?"  The article explains how towns,
cities and states across the nation are  waking up to the promise of
public banking as an alternative to doing  business with the private
banks.

https://www.thenation.com/article/what-if-people-owned-the-banks-instead-of-
wall-street/
We  are calling on Santa Rosa to get on board with the public banking 
movement. The local North Coast Public Banking working group has 
generated an on-line petition requesting that the City of Santa Rosa  fund
a study to determine the economic impact of divesting from private  banks
and placing our public deposits in the city's own public bank.

We  encourage folks from outside of Santa Rosa to sign as well as we are 
advocating that a Public Bank of Santa Rosa could also serve surrounding 
towns and counties as an alternative to the Wall Street banks. Oakland  as
a charter city is way out in front on establishing a public bank and  just
last night the city of Richmond's City Council voted 6-1 in favor  of
supporting Oakland in their efforts. Berkeley, Davis and Alameda  County
are also looking to collaborating with a Public Bank of Oakland  in
response to demands to divest from Wall Street.

Conversely,  in the chartered city of Santa Rosa during a recent goal
setting  meeting, the City Council determined to suggest to the next
council that  is appointed 18 months from now, that they consider
establishing a  study session on public banking.

Please  sign and distribute this petition widely within your circles of
friends,  businesses, organizations and social media networks. This is
going to  take the village to succeed.

To our collective best,
Shelly Browning

Stop the new Trump rule to deny birth control access

Sign the petition:

We demand that Donald Trump stop his plans to deny birth control access to women by allowing employers to opt out of coverage.<http://petitions.moveon.org/keystoneprogress/sign/i-support-birth-control>

>From Huffington Post (5/31/17):

A draft of the Trump administration?s new birth control coverage exemption has leaked, and it is far more wide-reaching than had been predicted.

The new rule amends the Obama administration?s coverage requirement to allow any employer, school or insurance company to opt out of covering contraception due to any moral or religious objection, Vox reported Wednesday. Even massive for-profit companies with no religious affiliation will be able to deny birth control coverage to their female employees.

?This rule would mean women across the country could be denied insurance coverage for birth control on a whim from their employer or university,? said Dana Singiser, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood. ?It makes a farce of the Trump administration?s so-called ?women?s empowerment? agenda and endangers a woman?s ability to make the most basic and personal of decisions ????? when and if to have a child.?

Sign the petition:

We demand that Donald Trump stop his plans to deny birth control access to women by allowing employers to opt out of coverage.

Shierholz and Zipperer find that retirement savers in California lose nearly $1.9 billion per year; see the losses for your state here<http://epi.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ec2361f981a14ee1d45cccaa9&id=96ac5af06e&e=bb10d77a5a> or in the map below. On June 9, the Labor Department will partially implement the fiduciary rule?a rule that is intended to protect retirement savers from conflicted advice. However, some compliance provisions of the rule will not take effect?nor will the rule be enforced?until January 1, 2018; and even then, its future is uncertain. Only if the rule is fully implemented and enforced will workers saving for retirement be able to reap the full benefits of a lifetime of work.

Here are some petitions asking your representatives to back the citizen's Constitutional rights to peaceful protest against Corporate greed and attacks of a militarized police presence against the protestors. It is an outrage that Corporations are subsidized to extract from our Parks, waterways, Native lands, and they get tax loopholes so they don't pay their way.  Ann

Dear Ann,

Who does the FBI protect? Who does the FBI serve? Is is we the people? Or is it powerful corporations like TransCananda and Walmart?

The FBI has always been the political police, but as a public agency they at least usually act under the veneer of serving a public purpose. Yet time and time again, the FBI has colluded with corporations worried about protests or secretive, private security forces gathering intelligence on political activity for their powerful corporate clients.

Take Action: Tell Congress the FBI should protect the First Amendment, not Giant Corporations!<https://default.salsalabs.org/T20554a47-4421-40fe-ae05-c32d4ce80f33/6a7f36e3-b25f-4c5c-a1a3-3f7075586963>

The latest targets of collusion appear to be Dakota Access Pipeline protesters. According to leaked documents, the company building the pipeline hired defense contractor TigerSwan, to thwart off protesters. The documents are chilling referring to Water Protectors as ?terrorists? and ?insurgents? and referencing the ?battlefield? as though they were fighting a war. TigerSwan infiltrated protests, gathered personal information on protesters, engaged in aerial surveillance, and monitored the media.

And they shared this information with prosecutors, law enforcement, and the FBI. TigerSwan, as a private corporation, is accountable only to its client, not to the public. And its job includes protecting their client?s reputation, meaning they have an interest in making the protesters look bad--or seeing them carted off to jail. This blatant conflict of interest and lack of accountability means the FBI shouldn?t be working with them.

That?s why we are asking you to let Congress know you are concerned.

Montgomery County Hosts Digital Security Workshop<https://rightsanddissent.org/news/montgomery-county-hosts-digital-security-workshop/>

Whether you?re supporting victims of domestic violence, engaging in activism, or just buying something online, everyone has a reason to want to protect their security and privacy on the internet.

Oakland Committee Approves Sweeping Surveillance Equipment Transparency Ordinance<https://rightsanddissent.org/news/oakland-adopts-sweeping-transparency-ordinance/>

Privacy advocates in Oakland continue to pave the way for the rest of the country. On Tuesday, May 9, the Public Safety Committee of the Oakland City Council approved a sweeping ordinance that requires City Council approval prior to possible acquisition and use of surveillance technology.

This is Not a Drill Oakland!<https://rightsanddissent.org/news/not-drill-oakland/>

Members of Congress want to hold Turkish security forces accountable for infringing on the right to peaceful protest in our Nation?s Capital. We just wish our members of Congress were also willing to hold our own police accountable when they abuse our rights.

While any FBI surveillance of dissent offends civil liberties, the FBI?s collusion with private corporations raises deeply troubling questions for our democracy.

No Matter Who Trump Nominates to Head the FBI, Congress Must Engage in True Oversight<https://default.salsalabs.org/Tb2abd9e0-418b-4558-bd98-009989cee25b/6a7f36e3-b25f-4c5c-a1a3-3f7075586963>

>From Hoover to Comey, the men at the top of the FBI like to project an image of patriotism, heroism, and integrity while their agency finds ways to skirt the Fourth Amendment and disrespect the First.

Trump?s firing of the man overseeing an investigation concerning himself and his associates oozes Nixonian vibes. In spite of the objectively terrifying nature of these facts, Comey should not be lionized.

DANIEL,

I am pleased to announce the launch of a new progressive organization, The
Sanders Institute, and respectfully request your participation.

During Bernie's presidential campaign, I had the pleasure of traveling
around this country - seeing its beauty and experiencing the passion and
dedication of its people. I learned so much from meeting people who were
involved in making their communities better and I came away with a
determination to ensure those voices would be heard.

I wanted to start an organization that would bring people together to learn
from each other and discuss how to make our country and our democracy
better. I wanted to actively engage individuals like you, along with the
media and other organizations, in learning about progressive solutions to
economic, environmental, racial, and social justice issues. *A true
democracy requires an informed electorate and we have so much to learn from
each other.*

That?s what The Sanders Institute is all about - and we need your
participation and support to make it a reality. Please visit our website,
take a look, delve into the issues and ideas that interest you, and
contribute to the conversation.

*VISIT OUR WEBSITE?
<https://go.ourrevolution.com/page/m/24fb0dbc/43f37eca/d32c6f56/62037fa8/528847327/VEsH/>*


We have brought together some of the most prominent progressive thinkers
from around the country: Bill McKibben, the Honorable Nina Turner, Ben
Jealous, Dr. Cornel West, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, Prof. Jeffrey Sachs, Danny
Glover, Dr. Stephanie Kelton, Harry Belafonte and Prof. Robert Reich. Our
work draws from their ideas and writings, other progressive and educational
sources, and people like you who are engaged and interested in progressive
solutions in their communities.

We look forward to your participation.

Sincerely,

Jane O'Meara Sanders

Far be it for me to suggest that Wonder Woman is a tool in the recent
movement of feminine empowerment being experienced in our culture ?
including the massive Women?s March. But if this is the case, why is that
bad? Isn?t it about time?

Trump actually cuts direct federal spending on our crumbling infrastructure
by nearly $145 billion over the next decade, forcing state and local
governments to shoulder more of the financial burden at a time when they
can least afford it.

the expense of the poor, and toward devolution from London with greater
inclusive growth.

We will still hold our Potluck at Trinity on Monday and the Reception at Silver's on Tuesday, but the Golden Rule will not arrive until the weather allows.  This is disappointing but we didn't expect that a storm would brew in June, and that is the nature of our Ocean and our climate.  Do not be discouraged, they will be arriving in the sailboat as soon as possible to show the boat and give sail rides.

Hey!

Thanks so much to everyone who RSVPed to join Tuesday?s nationwide Freedom Cities Slack meet-up so far. If you haven?t had a chance to RSVP and let us know that you?ll be joining the discussion, no worries! Take one minute to let us know in the form attached below:

 <https://go.peoplepower.org/go/131?t=1&akid=8343.31391.tly3It> RSVP for the Freedom Cities Slack meetup on June 13th from 7-10 PM ET

We will use your responses to this quick signup form to inform us about the city, county, and state channel-based discussions that we should invite you to join during the meeting. Additionally, we hope you?ll let us know in that form if there?s anyone else from your local group whom we should invite to join the national Slack meetup.

We?ve also put together  <https://go.peoplepower.org/go/136?t=2&akid=8343.31391.tly3It> this agenda which includes an outline for how the meeting will be organized, shares some tips for successful collaboration, and highlights some important People Power resources that you may find helpful during the course of the meetup. Please be sure to carefully review the agenda before the start of the meeting!

And like we mentioned before, it?s totally okay if you?ve never used Slack before -- you can still join in the discussion! Check out this comprehensive  <http://go.peoplepower.org/go/134?t=3&akid=8343.31391.tly3It> Slack video training or this  <http://go.peoplepower.org/go/135?t=4&akid=8343.31391.tly3It> Slack slideshow tutorial we put together for you to learn all the ins and outs about the platform in advance of the meeting.

We look forward to our Tuesday meetup!

John:

We?re simply blown away by the progress being made on Freedom Cities nationwide. In less than three months since our launch, leaders like you have posted over 3000 events on our People Power event map -- mobilizing tens of thousands of activists from every state across the country to take direct action to ensure our communities are welcoming of immigrants.

Just based on our May survey of the Freedom Cities campaign, we?ve heard from you that 137 municipalities have either adopted or started the process toward adopting the ACLU's 9 model policies as a direct result of your local efforts. It?s clear that we?ve made some incredible wins, but we can?t slow down until all our local communities are safe.

In the same survey, you told us that one barrier to achieving wins was figuring out how to work with other People Power activists in your community, and as a result, some of you are facing uncertainty around next steps to take in your local campaign. That?s why we want to invite all Freedom Cities activists to a nationwide online meet-up where you can connect with other activists around you and share tactics and strategies:

 <https://go.peoplepower.org/go/131?t=6&akid=8343.31391.tly3It> RSVP here to let us know that you?ll join us for our first ever nationwide online meet-up on June 13th from 7PM ET - 10PM ET

Here?s how it?ll work: On Tuesday, June 13th, we?re asking everyone to sign into our Freedom Cities Slack, an instant messaging platform that People Power activists have been using to communicate with each other. Once you?re online, we?ll make sure that you?ve been joined into your local city, county, and statewide channels. The meeting will give you a chance to talk to others in your community about effectively mobilizing either on the 9 model policies or on other statewide immigration advocacy that has been prioritized in your area.

 <https://go.peoplepower.org/go/131?t=7&akid=8343.31391.tly3It> Once you RSVP on this form to let us know that you?ll attend, we?ll follow up soon after with further details and a full agenda for the meeting.

Although we hope that you can join us at the start of the meeting and stay until the end, feel free to join any time in between if you only have a limited window of availability during those hours.

And don?t worry if you?ve never used anything like Slack before, or if you?ve tried it but had a hard time navigating the platform. We?ve put together this  <http://go.peoplepower.org/go/134?t=8&akid=8343.31391.tly3It> video training that will walk you through all the steps of logging on and using Slack to communicate with other People Power activists from across the country. The video training is very comprehensive and goes through each step of the process in great detail, so if you just need a quick refresher on navigating Slack, or have specific questions about just one aspect of the platform, we?ve also put together this  <http://go.peoplepower.org/go/135?t=9&akid=8343.31391.tly3It> slideshow tutorial so you don?t have to watch the whole video every time you want to refamiliarize yourself with the platform.

See you online!

These are great news stories I could have missed, even though I get hundreds of e-mails a day! Thanks Daniel for sending this. And the Golden Rule events at the Trinity potluck and the Silver's reception were great, well attended, and only missing the actual sailboat. Too bad about the sudden summer storm.

See you at Saturday's meeting, and we may have a new guest, Adam.  We are starting a group called 'Nuclear Free Mendocino'. Ann

Occupy the Cinema: Is Wonder Woman the Hero of Our Time?

[Wonder Woman, women&#039;s empowerment, Women&#039;s March, The Resistance]

Far be it for me to suggest that Wonder Woman is a tool in the recent movement of feminine empowerment being experienced in our culture ? including the massive Women?s March. But if this is the case, why is that bad? Isn?t it about time?

Why Trump's So-Called Infrastructure Plan Is Good for Wall Street But Bad for America

[Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump, Trump infrastructure plan, private public partnerships, crumbling infrastructure, American Society of Civil Engineers]

Trump actually cuts direct federal spending on our crumbling infrastructure by nearly $145 billion over the next decade, forcing state and local governments to shoulder more of the financial burden at a time when they can least afford it.

You Get What You Pay For: If Money Is Speech, Can Democracy Work?

Historic Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty In Sight

For more than seven decades, UN member states and civil society organizations have urged the world?s nuclear-armed states to address the threats posed by nuclear weapons.

Under the 1968 nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT), the vast majority of states foreswore nuclear weapons and the five original nuclear-armed states committed to pursue disarmament negotiations in good faith. An obligation to disarm, however, does not constitute a prohibition.

Now, a new, legally binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons is within sight. From June 15 to July 7, delegations representing some 130 countries will reconvene at the United Nations in New York for continued negotiations on a new treaty prohibiting nuclear weapons<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=32e2b7df81&e=da39f1671a> possession, developoment, testing, stationing, and use.

[https://gallery.mailchimp.com/94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1/images/f8f62bf4-bef0-4953-84c7-14ecff199209.jpg]<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=ac1f412bc5&e=da39f1671a>

At our June 2 annual meeting, former U.S. Undersecretary of State Tom Countryman, Ambassaor Susan Burk, and Ambassador Jan Kickert of Austria to the UN (pictured above) shared their views on the status of these negotiations and their relation to the NPT<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=65d767f6dd&e=da39f1671a>.

The emerging nuclear weapons prohibition treaty is a significant new factor in the disarmament equation. As I told The New York Times<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=0e491e7227&e=da39f1671a> May 22 ?[t]he vast majority of world states say nuclear weapons are not essential for security, and that we want to reduce their salience by banning them."

In my view<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=d65ac240d1&e=da39f1671a>, the new agreement has the potential to further delegitimize nuclear weapons as instruments of national power and to strengthen the legal and political norms against their possession and use.

The June issue of Arms Control Today includes two in-depth articles on the treaty negotiations by John Burroughs on ?Key Issues in Negotiations for a Nuclear Weapons Prohibition Treaty<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=2dbcee5036&e=da39f1671a>? and by Dr. Zia Mian and his Princeton colleagues on ?Addressing Verification in the Nuclear Ban Treaty<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=91ba3f360f&e=da39f1671a>.?

We will be at the United Nations monitoring the talks and engaging with key delegations to ensure the new treaty reinforces the NPT, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, and other long-standing safeguards. You can follow developments as they happen via Twitter by following @DarylGKimball<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=cd083b235f&e=da39f1671a> and @AZakre<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=cbf436f26a&e=da39f1671a>. Research Assistant Alicia Sanders-Zakre will also be providing updates on our website at ?Banning the Bomb Blog on the Nuclear Weapons Prohibition Talks<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=4b98b1fed2&e=da39f1671a>.?

Clearly, the nuclear weapons prohibition treaty is not an all-in-one solution. Additional and difficult work lies ahead.

You can count on us to provide practical ideas and information to help meet the challenges.

Thanks for your support,

[Daryl G. Kimball]

In response, the Trump Administration has recklessly stirred tensions and threatened what the president calls a ?major, major conflict.? To buttress this bluster, the president has sent aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, and a host of other military forces towards North Korea.

Despite the deafening drums of war, South Koreans just elected a new, progressive president, Moon Jae-in, who campaigned<http://armscontrol.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94d82a9d1fc1a60f0138613f1&id=9c37c88875&e=da39f1671a> on a pledge to engage in talks with North Korea to freeze and reverse its nuclear program.

On June 29-30, President Moon will be in Washington to meet President Donald Trump.

This is our chance to send a loud and clear message to South Korea and to President Moon that the American people support diplomacy with North Korea.

In cooperation with several other pro-diplomacy organizations, we will deliver your signature to President Moon in support of negotiations to halt and eventual reverse North Korea's nuclear and missile programs.

Hey! I just signed this petition calling on John McCain and the rest of the
Senate Intel Committee to stop interrupting Sen. Kamala Harris--will you
join me?

As Sen. Harris bravely took Sessions to task on his refusal to answer the
committee's questions, Sen. John McCain, closely followed by Chairman
Richard Burr, cut her off for the SECOND time in a row.

Sen. Kamala Harris already carries many burdens as the only Black woman in
the Senate--being silenced by white men in public hearings should not be one
of them. Will you sign the petition?

[Constitutional Progressives]<http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=EtJzICgVTytx9Eu4WwUyfcbMmLPVGft6>

Dear Ann,
Today, CAC?s litigation team filed a historic lawsuit in federal district court against President Donald Trump on behalf of Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Representative John Conyers (D-MI), and 194 other Members of Congress, seeking to hold Trump accountable to the Constitution. Specifically, the Complaint charges President Trump with violating the Constitution?s Foreign Emoluments Clause.
The Foreign Emoluments Clause requires all federal officeholders, including the President, to first seek and obtain the consent of Congress before accepting any benefits or payments from foreign states. Our nation?s Founders concluded that such a requirement was the only way to prevent foreign influence on U.S. officials, and to ensure that those officials, including the President, act in the national interest, not in their own financial self-interest.
Despite the advice of ethics and constitutional law experts, President Trump has refused to do what prior Presidents have done and either divest himself from his business holdings or establish a blind trust. As a result, he has a continuing financial interest in businesses around the world and is enriched every time his businesses receive benefits from foreign governments. In violation of the Foreign Emoluments Clause, President Trump has never sought the consent of Congress to accept any benefits from foreign states prior to his receipt of them.
Because President Trump has failed to comply with the Foreign Emoluments Clause, Members of Congress have no choice but to turn to the courts to require the President to comply with the Constitution. CAC?s attorneys are proud to represent the 196 Members of Congress who are the plaintiffs in this case.
To learn more about this historic lawsuit against President Trump, please visit http://theusconstitution.org/trump-and-foreign-emoluments-clause<http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=pZ0Uq74lHk01HGyHIwjmdcbMmLPVGft6>.

This is the second time in a row she was interrupted in a public hearing.

Sen. Kamala Harris was interrupted TWICE by her white male colleagues.

[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DCOqkIoXkAANUAb.jpg:large]<https://act.colorofchange.org/sign/stop-interrupting-kamala-harris/?t=3&akid=7585.1612028.DeAP71>

Demand Sen. John McCain & the rest of the Senate Intel Committee stop trying to silence her.

Take Action<https://act.colorofchange.org/sign/stop-interrupting-kamala-harris/?t=4&akid=7585.1612028.DeAP71>



Ann,

Sen. Kamala Harris was interrupted this week for the SECOND time in a row by Sens. John McCain and Richard Burr--and we need to have her back.

As Sen. Harris bravely took Sessions to task on his refusal to answer the committee's questions, Sen. John McCain, closely followed by Chairman Richard Burr, cut her off telling her to let Sessions "answer the question."1 Feeling emboldened by his GOP friends, Sessions started to lament that he couldn't focus because Sen. Harris was "making [him] nervous."2 And this all comes only ONE WEEK after Sen. Kamala Harris was interrupted by McCain and Burr and told to be "courteous" to Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein.3

After being called aggressive, bullish and overbearing, Sen. Kamala later tweeted "It was a simple question."4

There is nothing more tired and played out than white men silencing Black women and claiming to feel threatened by them at the same time. Sen. Kamala Harris already carries many burdens as the only Black woman in the Senate--being silenced by white men in public hearings should not be one of them.

Tell the Senate Intel Committee: Don't interrupt Kamala Harris again. <https://act.colorofchange.org/sign/stop-interrupting-kamala-harris/?t=5&akid=7585.1612028.DeAP71>

Yesterday, Sen. Kamala Harris did a damn good job drilling Attorney General Jeff Sessions after he spent nearly an hour refusing to answer questions during the Senate Intel Committee hearing. Repeatedly, Sessions said that he "did not recall" having meetings he was actually pictured in.5 And kept claiming that some DOJ policy allowed him to flat out refuse to answer many of the questions senators asked. When it was Kamala Harris' turn, she was the only senator with the guts to ask him a straight up: can you point to this supposed policy in writing that allows you to decide you don't want to answer us today?

And the week before, she simply asked Deputy AG Rosenstein whether he would give full independence to Bob Mueller to run the special counsel. When he started deflecting and beating around the bush she said: "I just need you to answer yes or no" before she was cut off by Burr and McCain.6

Many of the other white male senators were quite aggressive in their questioning, some even going back and forth with Sessions and Rosenstein. Yet, none of the white men were interrupted. Not a single one.

Show John McCain and his white male counterparts just how many people won't stand by and allow Black women to be silenced. Sign the petition. <https://act.colorofchange.org/sign/stop-interrupting-kamala-harris/?t=6&akid=7585.1612028.DeAP71>

The "scary" "angry" or "aggressive" Black woman trope isn't just damaging emotionally, it fuels real life economic disparities and places barriers in front of Black women in every facet of society. Kamala Harris is only the SECOND Black woman to ever be elected to the Senate. Black women make 64 cents to every dollar a white man makes.7 One in four Black women are uninsured, and the Black maternal mortality rate is three to four times the rate of white women.8 None of this is a coincidence. And it's why when women like Kamala Harris stand strong in the face of these damaging stereotypes, we have to show a groundswell of support.

Sen. Kamala Harris is one of the only senators committed to getting the full truth out of this administration and doing her job of asking the probing questions. Senator John McCain keeps trying to silence her, but she won't give up. And so we can't give up in supporting her and showing her white male colleagues just how many people will not stand by and allow Black women to be silenced.

Show your support for Kamala Harris.<https://act.colorofchange.org/sign/stop-interrupting-kamala-harris/?t=7&akid=7585.1612028.DeAP71>

History lesson-  which political party predominantly supports the
NRA and crazy gun laws, and is therefore responsible for the flood of
automatic and semi automatic weapons on the streets?  Which political
party under which president de-funded mental health care in the US
leading to swarms of mentally ill people on the streets?  Which
political party wants to cut taxes on the rich, cut funding for social
programs and education, leaving more disenfranchised, hopeless, and
desperate people?

We joined a group called 'Nuclear Free Mendocino' to try to affect de-escalation of Nuclear weapons and insure waste dumps are not on faultlines, near lakes and Ocean sides, and stop threatening to use Nuclear weapons as war tools.  Here is a good link with lots of news about what's happening.

Dear Ann,

Stop Mobile Chernobyls! Stop dangerous rad. waste dumps!
U.S. Rep. John Shimkus (R-IL), a longtime champion of "Screw Nevada" by opening the Yucca Mountain high-level radioactive waste dump against the state's will (as well as that of the Western Shoshone Indian Nation, whose land it is), has rushed a stealth mark up bill before the Environment and the Economy Subcommittee he chairs. When passed, the bill would move on to the full U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee, and then the full House floor. H.R.___, the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 2017, is so half-baked and ill-considered, it doesn't even have a bill number yet! If passed into law, it would launch unprecedented thousands of truck, train, and/or barge shipments of irradiated nuclear fuel, through 45 states, bound for Nevada. The bill would also expedite the opening of centralized interim storage sites for radioactive waste in Texas and/or New Mexico, multiplying Mobile Chernobyl risks yet more.

Millionaire trying to soak tax payers to revive nuclear white elephant
A company owned by a multi-millionaire, who donated several million dollars to Obama and the Democrats, got a $2 billion federal tax credit for a nuclear power plant he didn't own, Bloomberg<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Bb3wM8RUzK4xCfncw886iuFO1n3vtulpPQA5tMoVY5SWi6EQqDpt_ggtqaj9DFPCVXrppPYGcabNEGYLxQgnnOq3saolxeJFu4qGvdhWa8ol88lA7SKpCjNAtiIwvmlRdhJfNzSc57b9SGoENziDxoQcCEIiuAUOY9i6VN0xO5hysSGPpD8kBjEG1lSdQIkFDd_dkHw8F852Vu5CcNBfh7OUFD6pLcKbXl9H3wjRh7DzY8Bmdg18VFM5vY4c2H1zXesisLrBcHePhb3bVKhr6bK2wY50r39LTNzjjT-b8uR65zGR8WDpvw==&c=YSSFixZMWFgrQbApFuuqYyQ1oEka7O1Fs5s-KK-SU6_c_J1lkNvjDA==&ch=eL_gA9gm2EXpAZrS6aFCga-OklxwkItu6nt8fy0X0n4Nerzd9caWzg==> has revealed. Franklin L. Haney got the subsidy even though he had not yet purchased the mothballed Bellefonte nuclear plant in Alabama, which he later won in an auction for $111 million. Another condition of the tax credit, that the 40-year old partially-built plant must use "advanced technology," was "laughable," a DOE official told Bloomberg. Now Haney is courting Trump, who must appoint five of nine board members to the Tennessee Valley Authority, the likely customer for Bellefonte's electricity. But TVA has already declared Bellefonte redundant. Bloomberg reports that "Haney has been lobbying officials on legislation that would extend the tax credit allocations that he'd already won for Bellefonte." But, as Chris Gadomski, an analyst for Bloomberg New Energy Finance, pointed out: "Skeptics would be justified in wondering how reviving 1960s-era nuclear reactors that have been questionably maintained for decades represents a viable economic opportunity."

Correction: In the June 9 Beyond Nuclear bulletin, an item on a proposed high-level radioactive waste  facility in southeastern New Mexico should have referred to the Eddy-Lea [Counties] Energy Alliance (ELEA), not EnergySolutions of Utah, as the construction and operating license applicant.

Subject: There's Lots Of Room Under The Trump Bus, Plus The Day Law Enforcement Gets Even


Dear Ann,

Trump has always cultivated the reputation of been excessively
vengeful. Back in New York he would brag about getting even, multiple
times over, against anyone he perceived to have slighted him.

But you don't have to actually wrong him in any way, any moment for
convenience or on a whim he will throw you under the bus, no matter
now loyal you have been.

The Republicans in the House found this out for themselves this week
when Trump told Republican senators that the House health care bill,
the one he twisted House arms to pass, which he publicly celebrated
with them in the Rose Garden, was "mean, mean, mean." And the House
members who voted for this "mean" bill are hopping, plenty mad about
it. Picture the 2018 attack ads against them they see coming.

Like this would not get back to the House, like Republican senators
don't talk to them, like it would not be reported to the public.

Join the crowd, Republican House members. There's plenty of room
under the Trump bus. All you really have to do is jump on the Trump
train. You'll end up under the Trump bus sooner or later.

Rod Rosenstein too found this out the hard way. He dutifully drafted
a memo enumerating the indiscretions of James Comey, WITHOUT actually
calling for Comey's firing, and found himself being blamed as the
number one, two and three hatchet man for firing.

Trump would love to throw Rosenstein, the guy who appointed Special
Prosecutor Mueller, under the bus again right now, by firing him too.
But even he has gotten the message it would just make the obstruction
of justice case against him stronger, as if it was not strong enough
already.

Nonetheless there is active speculation about whether Rosenstein is
thinking about recusing himself. Yesterday we posited that Mueller
would likely not press the Rosenstein memo angle so as not to force
Rosenstein's hand, but we will not commit to a prediction about a
possible recusal, too much flux.

The one thing we can say with certainty that Rosenstein is not
interested in being thrown under the Trump bus over and again.

Speaking of getting more than even, Trump's own big thing, all these
people under the Trump bus will be and are getting even in their own
way, starting of course with Rosenstein's own appointment of a
special prosecutor.

The Republicans in the House, which is where impeachment needs to
start, have no inherent loyalty to Trump. Most of them did not
support his candidacy. They never liked him and many outright
despised him in secret, and still do. He is useful to him only as
long and to the extent that he will sign the bills they wanted to
pass anyway. And he has already turned on them on the very first bill
they did pass.

The instant Trump's base turns on him so too will the Republicans in
Congress. They are almost at that point now already. They would take
Pence in a heartbeat, or of course Paul Ryan if Pence too is dragged
down in Trump's wake.

But what happens if the Democrats sweep the House in 2018 and retake
the 3rd in line speakership position? What happens them? Absent some
spectacular new evidentiary bombshell this will take a while. Mueller
himself with patiently and methodically build an ironclad case.

But nobody will get more even than the dedicated law enforcement
professionals that Trump has smeared on Twitter.

In testimony, the voice of the hard-nosed Comey actually cracked when
testifying about Trump denigrating his precious FBI, not to mention
himself personally. Don't tell us Comey's activism in precipitating
the appointment of a special prosecutor was not, at least in part, an
act of getting even.

And Trump has done the same thing to Mueller and his entire team,
trashing them as "bad and conflicted" people, etc. Their way of
getting even is to put him in prison, for EVERY criminal thing he has
ever done within the period of the applicable statute of limitations,
and they are now quite determined to do it.

We predict that Trump will end up under his own bus . . . alone.

Subject: Congress must hear from you

Dear Ann,

Fired FBI Director James Comey?s testimony painted a picture of a President who doesn?t think the rules apply to him -- just the latest bit of breaking news that has Americans demanding the truth about Russian meddling in our elections, and whether the Trump administration covered it up.

But if worrying revelations alone were enough to spur Congress into action, it would have happened a long time ago. So no matter what we learn tomorrow, it?ll still take a massive display of people power to force Congress to hold President Trump accountable.

There?s a clear path forward: we?re launching our Country Over Party agenda -- 10 concrete steps that must be taken to protect our elections from conflicts of interest, corruption, and interference. This is our chance to cut through the confusion and force every member of Congress to back up their words with action. But only if you speak out now.

We need your help to demand that Congress take action -- please send a message today.<http://countryoverparty.cc/>

Americans deserve to have full confidence in our elections, and that our leaders answer only to us, the people. But unanswered questions still surround President Trump?s unprecedented conflicts of interest, his campaign and administration?s ties to foreign governments, and Russia?s meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

Our 10-point agenda outlines the concrete steps that our leaders can take to put country over party, ensure that Americans know exactly what happened, hold power accountable, and strengthen voters? faith in the security of our elections.

But if we want any of it to happen, your members of Congress must hear directly from YOU. Take a moment to read our Country Over Party agenda, then send a message to your Senators and Representatives demanding they take action.<http://countryoverparty.cc/>

Once you?ve read the agenda, please take a moment to share it far and wide, and make sure your friends and family contact their members of Congress. I know that if we keep up the fight we can get the answers and accountability we deserve.

Thank you for speaking out,

Karen Hobert Flynn, President
and the team at Common Cause

Subject: [MCN-Announce]- Important hospital meeting, please email the Board members

Hello folks,

This Thursday, June 22, is an important meeting about the Fort Bragg
hospital.  It will be held at 6pm in Town Hall (note this is a different
venue than most hospital meetings).  The sole topic they will vote on is
whether or not to close the OB department (Obstetrics, Labor and
Delivery).  I strongly believe we need to keep the OB department in Fort
Bragg.  Please come to the meeting with a "Keep OB" sign, and please email
the Board members, listed below.

I hope you will stand in support of continuing births on the coast; this is
an important backup to have in place for people who choose to do homebirths
on the coast (no OB = no legal homebirths nearby!) and it is an important
hospital function that serves many people who cannot afford to travel
inland to Ukiah several times or more during the course of a pregnancy.

Furthermore, the Mendocino Coast Clinic has offered to pay the salary of an
additional OB doctor and Pediatrician if the hospital commits to keeping
the department! This will mean the hospital can cease paying high fees for
"on call" doctors who sometimes have to travel to Fort Bragg and charge a
high rate.

I haven't heard anyone pushing an argument that OB should be closed but
some on the Board feel it should be, the data is not clear that OB even
costs a lot, and the clinic is willing to make the department even cheaper
to run.

This shouldn't even come to a vote (because OB is clearly needed and not
expensive after the clinic's offer) but the activists who have been
involved the longest are not optimistic about Thursday's vote, they foresee
the Board voting against the community and closing OB!

I am new to joining this struggle, I have such a strong feeling that
reducing the size and scope of the hospital will lead to further
reductions.  Losing the OB department will make it difficult for young
families to keep living here, over time they will move inland because this
will not be a place to have a baby and raise a family.  This will hurt the
economy and the school system, and all of us!

Thanks for reading, and acting,

Andy


Board members are elected officials, and we need to let them know how
important OB is for the community.  Please email them, make it clear you
stand for keeping OB!

Kevin Miller: Kmiller at mcdh.net
Peter Glusker: Pglusker at mcdh.net
Kitty Bruning: Kbruning at mcdh.net
Lucas Campos: Lcampos at mcdh.net


*P.S.: If anyone knows Dr. Kevin Miller, please have a heart-to-heart
conversation with him.  He is pushing hardest for this and I do not
understand his perspective.


Here is a sample email (be careful copying and pasting directly as the
second paragraph starts with "As a man," from my perspective):

Hi I?m ______. I live in ________. I?m emailing to urge you and the rest of
the Board to vote NO on closing OB. The OB department is important to our
community. Without it, women and babies will suffer and there will not be
access to reproductive care for many people. We need the hospital. I want
to support the hospital, and I want the hospital to support the OB
department.  The community wants the OB department so badly that the
Mendocino Coast Clinic has offered to pay for an Obstetrician and a
Pediatrician, dramatically lowering the Hospital's costs of running the OB
department.  Please say YES to the MCC's offer and please vote NO on
closing OB.

As a man, I know that I won't personally need the services of an
Obstetrician, but I care about everyone in my community and I know that if
the coast does not have the ability to birth babies it will likely lead to
a dangerous situation for individual pregnant mothers and babies, and over
time will certainly lead to fewer young families on the coast, which will
weaken our economy and our school system.  We need a plan to build a robust
community, recruiting more families, not a plan that makes the coast a
wild, dangerous place to try and live.

 Thank you.

Dear Ann,

Trump has always cultivated the reputation of been excessively
vengeful. Back in New York he would brag about getting even, multiple
times over, against anyone he perceived to have slighted him.

But you don't have to actually wrong him in any way, any moment for
convenience or on a whim he will throw you under the bus, no matter
now loyal you have been.

The Republicans in the House found this out for themselves this week
when Trump told Republican senators that the House health care bill,
the one he twisted House arms to pass, which he publicly celebrated
with them in the Rose Garden, was "mean, mean, mean." And the House
members who voted for this "mean" bill are hopping, plenty mad about
it. Picture the 2018 attack ads against them they see coming.

Like this would not get back to the House, like Republican senators
don't talk to them, like it would not be reported to the public.

Join the crowd, Republican House members. There's plenty of room
under the Trump bus. All you really have to do is jump on the Trump
train. You'll end up under the Trump bus sooner or later.

Rod Rosenstein too found this out the hard way. He dutifully drafted
a memo enumerating the indiscretions of James Comey, WITHOUT actually
calling for Comey's firing, and found himself being blamed as the
number one, two and three hatchet man for firing.

Trump would love to throw Rosenstein, the guy who appointed Special
Prosecutor Mueller, under the bus again right now, by firing him too.
But even he has gotten the message it would just make the obstruction
of justice case against him stronger, as if it was not strong enough
already.

Nonetheless there is active speculation about whether Rosenstein is
thinking about recusing himself. Yesterday we posited that Mueller
would likely not press the Rosenstein memo angle so as not to force
Rosenstein's hand, but we will not commit to a prediction about a
possible recusal, too much flux.

The one thing we can say with certainty that Rosenstein is not
interested in being thrown under the Trump bus over and again.

Speaking of getting more than even, Trump's own big thing, all these
people under the Trump bus will be and are getting even in their own
way, starting of course with Rosenstein's own appointment of a
special prosecutor.

The Republicans in the House, which is where impeachment needs to
start, have no inherent loyalty to Trump. Most of them did not
support his candidacy. They never liked him and many outright
despised him in secret, and still do. He is useful to him only as
long and to the extent that he will sign the bills they wanted to
pass anyway. And he has already turned on them on the very first bill
they did pass.

The instant Trump's base turns on him so too will the Republicans in
Congress. They are almost at that point now already. They would take
Pence in a heartbeat, or of course Paul Ryan if Pence too is dragged
down in Trump's wake.

But what happens if the Democrats sweep the House in 2018 and retake
the 3rd in line speakership position? What happens them? Absent some
spectacular new evidentiary bombshell this will take a while. Mueller
himself with patiently and methodically build an ironclad case.

But nobody will get more even than the dedicated law enforcement
professionals that Trump has smeared on Twitter.

In testimony, the voice of the hard-nosed Comey actually cracked when
testifying about Trump denigrating his precious FBI, not to mention
himself personally. Don't tell us Comey's activism in precipitating
the appointment of a special prosecutor was not, at least in part, an
act of getting even.

And Trump has done the same thing to Mueller and his entire team,
trashing them as "bad and conflicted" people, etc. Their way of
getting even is to put him in prison, for EVERY criminal thing he has
ever done within the period of the applicable statute of limitations,
and they are now quite determined to do it.

We predict that Trump will end up under his own bus . . . alone.

Dear Friend of *The Nation*,

We have been here before. Perhaps not at these precise coordinates, but at
other times when democracy seemed to be falling off a cliff.

It?s in these moments that we must remind ourselves that taking a
principled stand often requires running intellectual risks. *The Nation has
sustained itself on the idea that there are always alternatives* that would
make our country and our world a more humane, just, and secure place.

Taking these positions is necessary, but costly. We rely on the additional
support of readers like you to help us challenge those in power and posit
alternative ideas. *Will you make a donation of $35 or more today?*
<http://link.thenation.com/click/9868251.296520/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhlbmF0aW9uLmNvbS9qdW5lLXN1cHBvcnQtbWFzdGVyLw/568ee3ddcbcf4803768b50deC4f302126>

Your support keeps us free of outside interference and any worry about
?offending? advertisers. We go where the truth takes us; where our
interests, passions, and principles drive us; and *where you and our other
loyal readers want and need us to go.*

Throughout our history, *The Nation* has challenged the conventional wisdom
and narrow consensus of our public debate, and repeatedly championed
proposals originally labeled heretical. In 1950, *The Nation* was banned
from school libraries in New York City and Newark, while in Bartlesville,
Oklahoma, a librarian lost her job after a citizens? committee complained
that by offering our magazine, she?d given shelf space to ?subversive
literature.?

But we survived. And I?m confident that America will, too, *so long as its
values and truths are alive in The Nation.* From the sudden firing of FBI
director James Comey, leaving the Trump administration teetering on the
edge of a constitutional crisis, to the cavalcade of lies surrounding
?Trumpcare?; from the shame of America?s incarceration scandal to systemic
voter suppression,* The Nation brings you clear, informed, sustained, and
unbiased reporting. *

Will you make a contribution today to help fund this journalism? These are
the stories we need right now?journalism that challenges and subverts, that
raises new voices and highlights alternative ideas, that keeps one eye on
those in power and the other on the most vulnerable among us.
<http://link.thenation.com/click/9868251.296520/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhlbmF0aW9uLmNvbS9qdW5lLXN1cHBvcnQtbWFzdGVyLw/568ee3ddcbcf4803768b50deD4f302126>

In many ways, *The Nation* has always been a publication of resistance. Our
proud history shows we?ve been on the right side of many great national
debates, simply by being on the wrong side of what the power structure
wanted us to say or write.

Today, our principled commitment to resist while exploring ways to stay
true to America?s ideals is urgently needed. Your support right now of $35
or more will go toward reporting that amplifies and nurtures the resistance
to Trump we see growing in the streets.
<http://link.thenation.com/click/9868251.296520/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhlbmF0aW9uLmNvbS9qdW5lLXN1cHBvcnQtbWFzdGVyLw/568ee3ddcbcf4803768b50deE4f302126>

*Please make as generous a gift as you are able. And thank you for being a
member of our community of supporters.*

Sincerely,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
Editor & Publisher *The Nation*

> The Relationship of Health Insurance and Mortality: Is Lack of Insurance Deadly?
> By Steffie Woolhandler, MD, MPH; David U. Himmelstein, MD
> 
> Abstract
> 
> About 28 million Americans are currently uninsured, and millions more could lose coverage under policy reforms proposed in Congress. At the same time, a growing number of policy leaders have called for going beyond the Affordable Care Act to a single-payer national health insurance system that would cover every American. These policy debates lend particular salience to studies evaluating the health effects of insurance coverage. In 2002, an Institute of Medicine review concluded that lack of insurance increases mortality, but several relevant studies have appeared since that time. This article summarizes current evidence concerning the relationship of insurance and mortality. The evidence strengthens confidence in the Institute of Medicine's conclusion that health insurance saves lives: The odds of dying among the insured relative to the uninsured is 0.71 to 0.97.
> 
> From the Discussion

> The evidence accumulated since the publication of the IOM's report in 2002 supports and strengthens its conclusion that health insurance reduces mortality. Several newer observational and quasi-experimental studies have found that uninsurance shortens survival, and a few with null results used confounded or questionable adjustments for baseline health. The results of the only recent RCT, although far from definitive, are consistent with the positive findings from cohort and quasi-experimental analyses.
> 
> Several factors complicate efforts to determine whether uninsurance increases mortality. Randomly assigning people to uninsurance is usually unethical, and quasi-experimental analyses rest on unverifiable assumptions. Deaths are rare and mortality effects may be delayed, mandating large studies with long follow-up. Many people cycle into and out of coverage, diluting the effects of insurance. And statistical adjustments for baseline health usually rely on participants' self-reports, which may be influenced by coverage. Hence, such adjustments may under- or overadjust for differences between insured and uninsured persons.
> 
> Our focus on mortality should not obscure other well-established benefits of health insurance: improved self-rated health, financial protection, and reduced likelihood of depression. Insurance is the gateway to medical care, whose aim is not just saving lives but also relieving human suffering.
> 
> Overall, the case for coverage is strong. Even skeptics who suggest that insurance doesn't improve outcomes seem to vote differently with their feet. As one prominent economist (Paul Krugman) recently asked, ?How many of the people who write such things? choose to just not bother getting their healthcare??

> Although the precise numbers are somewhat elusive, this comprehensive review of existing studies confirms that health insurance reduces mortality. The Congressional Budget Office concludes that another 22 million people will be uninsured compared to current law if the Better Care Reconciliation Act were enacted and implemented. If this Republican repeal and replace bill becomes law, more people will die as a result.
> 
> Obviously the reduction in mortality is not the sole function of insurance. As the authors of this Annals of Internal Medicine article state, ?Insurance is the gateway to medical care, whose aim is not just saving lives but also relieving human suffering.? Importantly, it also provides financial protection, which otherwise would deteriorate under the Republican proposal. (The full landmark article by Steffie Woolhandler and David Himmelstein is available for free at the link above.)
> 
> If there ever was a time to intensify the policy debate, this is it. The repeal and replace movement became popular because of the acknowledged deficiencies of the Affordable Care Act - leaving millions uninsured, millions more with inadequate financial protection, perpetuation of a dysfunctional insurance market that takes away choices, while failing to remedy the profound administrative waste that uniquely characterizes the U.S. health care financing system.
> 
> The Republicans have done us a favor by showing us that replacement policies that assume perpetuation of our fragmented infrastructure of private plans and public programs cannot remedy the profound deficiencies in our system. With six years of debate, the policies proposed do not correct the fundamental flaws in the financing infrastructure and actually would only compound the problems, including increasing mortality caused by being uninsured.
> 
> It is not as if we do not understand optimal health policy. We do. A well designed single payer national health program - an improved Medicare for all - would ensure that all of us would have the essential health care services that we need in a system that would be affordable for each of us. And, oh yes, nobody would die simply because they were uninsured.

Stop the $5 Billion Nuclear Tax Bailout!<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ClWRmg%2Fr2dNGWaUxRLBhYIG4u0ggm5KS>

Email your Senators and tell them to oppose HR1551.

"Burning Money" image above by Gene Case of Avenging Angels.


Dear Friend,

The nuclear industry is trying to push through a multi-billion-dollar bailout to keep the fantasy/nightmare of nuclear power alive. This time, they're going to Congress. Stopping this bill (HR 1551) could end the so-called ?Nuclear Renaissance? once and for all.

Tell your Senators today: ?Vote NO on the nuclear tax bailout!?<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=erywRd24GNUlr1rLt%2BL6P4G4u0ggm5KS>

Utilities in Georgia and South Carolina are building four new reactors that are all billions of dollars over budget and years behind schedule. We all knew this would happen, but these reactors are less than half-way built and have already bankrupted Westinghouse, the largest builder of reactors in the world ? proof that nuclear power is a failed technology with no future.

Some or all of these reactors could be cancelled soon, despite billions of dollars in state and federal subsidies. But one of those subsidies ? the Nuclear Production Tax Credit ? could expire before any of these nuclear boondoggles can be completed. Utilities can only take the tax credit for electricity the reactors actually generate, and it appears none of them will be completed before the program expires by law in 2020, saving taxpayers over $5 billion.

<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=xm9kjeqTZMeQzpy2C7SwqIG4u0ggm5KS>Contact your senators now: ?Not one more of our tax dollars to bail out dirty, dangerous, failing nuclear power plants!?<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=mzm8Dkle6J2DGf9cVuOvC4G4u0ggm5KS>

So what are Georgia Power, SCANA, and Westinghouse doing? Begging Congress to rush through a bill that would NOT ONLY eliminate the 2020 expiration date, but give $2.6 billion in federal tax credits to tax-exempt state utilities and cooperatives that co-own half of these new reactors.

Why? To allow the non-profit utilities to transfer the credits to the for-profit utilities and Westinghouse, of course.

Stop this wasteful, dangerous nuclear bailout today! <http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=NL8%2B7HcBgcIm7CVWH2qnMIG4u0ggm5KS>

The House of Representatives passed HR 1551 last week, and Senate Majority Leader McConnell is pushing for a Senate vote this week, before the American public can find out about it. And President Trump has already said he will sign the bill.

The whole bill amounts to a $5 billion bailout to four dirty, dangerous reactors ? using a new and still-unproven design ? that have already had major construction and manufacturing problems.

Contact your Senators ? stop the nuclear tax bailout and end the Nuclear Relapse!<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=FmrWeoaQTJZOlAL9kXos34G4u0ggm5KS>

Message-ID: <152AC322-92EF-4241-AEC0-3A2DA0CACD61@mcn.org>

http://observer.com/2017/06/single-payer-health-care-california-bill-pulled/ <http://observer.com/2017/06/single-payer-health-care-california-bill-pulled/>


Led d by National Nurses United, progressives in California have been pushing SB562, a bill that would create a single-payer <http://observer.com/2017/05/nancy-pelosi-rejects-single-payer-health-care/> Medicare for all health care system in the state. On June 23, Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon shut down the bill despite Democrats holding the State House, Senate and governorship, providing the opportunity for Democrats <http://observer.com/2017/02/chelsea-clinton-congressional-run-democratic-party/> to easily pass the bill. The Los Angeles Times reported <http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-sac-single-payer-shelved-20170623-story.html>, ?Rendon announced late Friday afternoon that the bill, Senate Bill 562 by state Sens. Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens) and Toni Atkins (D-San Diego), would not advance to a policy hearing in his house, making it all but certain the measure will not be acted upon this year.?

Rendon, in a brief statement, called the bill ?wholly incomplete.? Hours before, according to a statement from CNA/National Nurses United co-President Deborah Burger, the California Nurses Association ?submitted an additional set of proposed amendments in advance of the first Assembly hearing to begin the ?completion? of the bill Speaker Rendon had said was missing, a clear sign that his decision was not only unconscionable but also disingenuous in even the reasons he cited for freezing the bill.?

However, given his ties to the health insurance and pharmaceutical industries, it?s not surprising that Speaker Rendon shut down the bill. In an election swung <http://observer.com/2017/06/california-democratic-party-chair-race-ineligible-votes/> by fraudulent votes, his senior adviser, Eric Bauman <http://observer.com/2017/05/california-democratic-party-chair-eric-bauman-dirty-politics-pedophilia/>, was recently elected by party insiders to chair the California Democratic Party Chair. Bauman received over $100,000 <http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/matier-ross/article/Democratic-adviser-Eric-Bauman-collects-cash-to-8088098.php> in 2016 lobbying for the pharmaceutical industry against Prop 61, which would have capped prescription drug prices in California.

In 2015, the Sacramento Bee reported that Rendon received <http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article24913978.html> over $36,000 from drug makers. In April 2017, IBTimes reported that House Speaker Anthony Rendon, Senate President Kevin De Leon and Gov. Jerry Brown?all Democrats?have received a combined?$370,000 <https://www.followthemoney.org/show-me?s=CA&y=2016,2015,2014,2013,2012,2011,2010,2009&f-fc=2,3&c-t-eid=70023,11022811,6468707&d-eid=3125,188,10450,3279,3622,17299,3294,10769,10785,1765920,10792,4722,1212,12970,22278634,22285615,22215102,26400724,38566999,2027,1753,7991,4122,42700957,47951,2834#%5B%7B1%7Cgro=> from groups opposing single-payer health care legislation. Since 2010, these lawmakers have received $3.4 million <https://www.followthemoney.org/show-me?s=CA&y=2016,2015,2014,2013,2012,2011,2010,2009&f-fc=2,3&c-t-eid=70023,11022811,6468707&d-ccg=8&d-ccb=128#%5B%7B1%7Cgro=> in campaign donations from the health insurance industry. While California voters and progressive groups demand single-payer health care in the state, the Democratic?establishment <http://observer.com/2017/05/ro-khanna-admits-democratic-primares-rigged-for-hillary-clinton/> in California has been bought and paid for by the pharmaceutical and health care industries to prevent it from becoming a reality.

?At a time when the United States is the only major country on earth not to guarantee health care for all, and when tens of millions of Americans are uninsured or underinsured because of outrageously high costs, California has the opportunity to lead this nation in a very different health care direction,? Sen. Bernie Sanders said <https://twitter.com/ccadelago/status/878674662565175296> in response to Speaker Rendon?s decision to pull the plug on the bill. ?If the great state of California has the courage to take on the greed of the insurance companies and the drug companies, the rest of the country will follow.?

Everyday,?five people <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16BDG1_rAMYWJIPRap0_Yu7oKgISiiZlEOUlt1JTvGCc/edit#gid=1939319039> in California die due to lack of health insurance. Several polls <http://www.gallup.com/poll/191504/majority-support-idea-fed-funded-healthcare-system.aspx> have shown that a majority of Americans support a Medicare for all health care system. That this bill was pulled?despite being passed <http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/06/01/california-senate-passes-single-payer-health-care-plan/> by the State Senate?signals the extent of?corruption <http://observer.com/2017/04/thompson-estes-special-election-kansas-democratic-party-progressives/> within the Democratic Party. <http://observer.com/2017/04/hearing-set-dnc-class-action-lawsuit-bernie-sanders/> In order to become a party that fights for the policies they market themselves with, the Democratic Party must purge itself of leaders that prioritize the interests of donors <http://observer.com/2017/05/dnc-class-action-lawsuit-field-organizers-convention-bonuses/>over voters.

27 national monuments up for review
[Badlands National Park]<http://wwf.worldwildlife.org/site/R?i=eDXcevHl4_2fFba4upf2_w>


Dear Ann,

Our national monuments belong to every American. They span our nation, from rugged mountain peaks, through pristine forests, across vast, rich deserts rich in wildlife, and oceans painted with a spectrum of underwater life.

These lands and waters are as much of a part of our nation's fabric as the great halls of Congress.<http://wwf.worldwildlife.org/site/R?i=QqGD4rAhxx55iJ60_KpvSg>

Currently, 27 national monuments?including the newly designated Bear's Ears National Monument in Utah, and California's Giant Sequoia National Monument?are up for review under an executive order from President Trump.

In addition to examining their continued designation as national monuments, the review will also take into consideration whether these precious protected areas can be exploited for activities such as drilling, logging, and mining.

To date, no president in our nation?s history has rescinded a national monument designation. This unprecedented action would not only degrade lands cherished by generations of North Americans, but for the wildlife that calls them home as well.

Many of our national monuments have earned their designation due to their irreplaceable, unique nature. To open these lands up for exploitation could spell disaster for countless species such as the endangered kit fox and California condor that depend on them for their continued survival.<http://wwf.worldwildlife.org/site/R?i=qgd4NwCjbdId82VRnxZc1g>

At this critical moment in the history of our nation?s national monuments, we should continue the protection of the lands under review, and reject any changes to their current levels of protection.<http://wwf.worldwildlife.org/site/R?i=EnFVo4hWs1U4uOZODMhWnw>

These lands and waters represent so much more than wildlife habitat: They provide clean air, recreational areas for hunting, hiking, and fishing, and economic benefits for neighboring communities. They are a vital link to the foundation of our nation that existed long before the drafting of the Constitution.

Sincerely,

[Sara Thomas]

Raising up the voices of low income, immigrant and working families across California



Ann --

Governor Brown's toxic "by-right" proposal from last year is back again!

By-right will give developers the ?right? to build primarily market-rate or luxury housing WITHOUT having to go through the usual city and pubic review processes and it's being voted on TOMORROW in committee! We did it before: lets stop this bill in its tracks!

<http://www.acceaction.org/stop_by_right_2017_1?e=1e7e58c2cb2287481b6676acfa7ed9a5&utm_source=acceaction&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=byright2017_1&n=2>The ?build-by-right? proposal would allow development projects to skip most public and environmental review (CEQA) if the developer designates a relatively small percentage of housing units as affordable ? 10% in transit areas. So for every 100 units, only 5 or 10 have to be affordable!!

Whether you rent or are buying a home, California has some of the highest housing costs in the country. Wages are in no way keeping up with the rising cost of housing. This will accelerate the displacement that is already happening, pushing our folks further out of the urban areas. We need to raise our voices now!

Tell Assembly Member Cecilia Aguiar-Curry that our communities need a stronger ? not weaker ? voice on housing development!<http://www.acceaction.org/stop_by_right_2017_1?e=1e7e58c2cb2287481b6676acfa7ed9a5&utm_source=acceaction&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=byright2017_1&n=3>

We do need more housing to be built ? specifically, we need housing that is affordable to low income and working families who live and work in our cities! Instead, developers are building more and more luxury housing and pushing working families and people of color out in neighborhoods across California, from the Mission District to West Oakland in the Bay Area, to Boyle Heights in Los Angeles.

CLICK HERE to STOP Real Estate developer special interests from taking away community voice!<http://www.acceaction.org/stop_by_right_2017_1?e=1e7e58c2cb2287481b6676acfa7ed9a5&utm_source=acceaction&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=byright2017_1&n=4>

>From home health aides and janitors to teachers and nurses, most of us are struggling to find affordable housing near where we work.  We need our legislators to advance real solutions to the housing crisis, like strong rent control and eviction protections and increased funding for affordable housing. Giving more power and control of the land to greedy developers is certainly not the solution!

Don?t let real estate special interests get away with taking away the community?s voice.

HI OM, 

As you guys know, I am playing music in Mendo on the Sat. meeting date. ( Come down after to a free concert of big  band jazz after the meeting. Ending at 4  PM)

Don?t forget the Anne Feeney event on July 2.! l The crew is set up as below.  

Something to bring up at meeting. PleaseI  
1. To give  Anne Feeney an Occupy Hat and a Poster for her birthday that was the day before, on July1. .  Would you/could you have that approved at your meeting
I?ve contacted Sheila about it. .

2.  I might need a check from Occupy at the end to reconcile payment with Anne Feeney.  
This is because the Brownpaper tickets money takes one  week to get back. 
We?d replenish the  OM bank account after. they?d send. Hoping the box $ will cover. 

Oh? I asked for a 50/50 split of the box after she is paid her initial fee ($500)  
She agreed!  

I hope we have at least 50 people attending: $1000
$1000.  
- $500  to Anne
$500
- 100 room rent
$400  =   $200 OM, $200  Anne Feeney.

We should make $50 or so off concession.   We?d make about $50.

Let?s hope for 75 people!W

John:

It?s time again for our host newsletter! We?re thrilled to share some People Power updates and get you in the loop about what?s new and exciting.

Here?s what we?ll cover this week:

*	Shouts-out to some People Power groups that have made progress recently
*	Special Volunteer Teams update 
*	FAQs

Recent progress:

We?re excited and inspired by the talented organizing we?re seeing all across the country, and want to take a minute to highlight some great developments we?ve heard about recently:

Activists in Colorado had an incredibly successful meeting with the Chief of Police for Grand Junction PD. He was ?completely on board with all of the policies and he was very informative.?

- Grand Junction, CO

Township Commissioners in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania have agreed to attend an educational community forum regarding immigration rights, and local activists are planning a large community event - a conversation with local officials, immigration experts, and community members.

- Elkins Park, PA

In Los Angeles County, activists have recently had productive meetings with their local law enforcement officials. Attendance at the Know Your Rights workshops they?ve been organizing has been great, and they?ve been providing weekly citizenship classes to folks in the local community. They?re currently working on resolutions to present to the Palmdale and Lancaster city councils.

- Palmdale, CA

In Washington, organizers have been reaching out to people in the area and building up their momentum. They?ve had great experiences with their law enforcement officials -- the Chief of Longview WA Police and an Acting Chief of Police in Kalama WA have discussed and given out copies of the ACLU model policies to other police departments in the area. Tracking policy changes is the big next step.

- Cowlitz County, WA

Great job to all the groups who were highlighted this week! We love hearing about the work that People Power organizers are doing locally.

We really want to hear your campaign update too! Let us know what?s going on by filling <https://go.peoplepower.org/survey/freedom-cities-report-back-survey/?source=em20170630&t=1&akid=10192.31391.j5TEcC>  out this survey.

 <https://go.peoplepower.org/survey/freedom-cities-report-back-survey/?source=em20170630&t=2&akid=10192.31391.j5TEcC> Report back on your campaign ?

Special Volunteer Teams Update -

In addition to the organizing that you all do on the ground, you can also join one of our  Special Volunteer teams, which help support the work of activists nationwide a. Some of you receiving this newsletter may even be on one of our Special Volunteer teams! Here are a few quick updates about what a couple of our teams have been up to, and what?s on the horizon:

Texting Team -

We're very excited to announce that our texting team will be ramping up our texting initiative in the coming days. We regularly send texts to recruit for and amplify actions like rallies, vigils, and protests. With the expansion of our program, we'll now have the capacity to text for rapid response events and for even more of the local events that your teams are organizing on the ground.

If you do not want us to consider your event text recruitment, you can click ?I do not want additional help recruiting for my event? on the event creation page. You can also always edit those settings by going to go.peoplepower.org/me. We can?t wait to help build momentum in your community and connect you with other like-minded activists.

Call Team -

The team has been ramping up more every week, with 116 new volunteers joining us in just the past 30 days. In addition to helping Freedom Cities organizers get their local events ready to go  <https://go.peoplepower.org/go/166?t=3&akid=10192.31391.j5TEcC> up on the map, Call Team volunteers have been plugging people into rapid response events across the country to resist the unconstitutional agenda of the Trump administration. From healthcare rallies in West Virginia, to vigils in Alaska, to voting rights action trainings in Florida, the team has been working hard to help likeminded activists fight back.

In other exciting Call Team news, we are about to launch our Ground Support Call Team. This team will take on a more in-depth support role to Freedom Cities activists who are organizing locally. We?d love for you to join us! We?re looking for people who?ve been organizing in their communities to be a resource to other local activists and vice-versa.

 <https://go.peoplepower.org/go/167?t=4&akid=10192.31391.j5TEcC> Sign up here to join our new Ground Support Team. We?re excited for the program to get even bigger as we continue with Freedom Cities and beyond!

Translation Team -

Our Translation Team has been working around the clock to translate some of our most important People Power resources from English to Spanish. We recognize that many of you are also creating calling scripts, agenda, flyers, letters, and many other unique materials and resources needed to advocate for Freedom Cities policies in your community. Our team may have some capacity in the next two weeks to help translate any such materials and resources that your local group has created from English to Spanish -- just send an email to translation at peoplepower.org with the link or attachment to your resource(s) and indicate in the body of the email that you would like our team to translate this for you.

 <https://go.peoplepower.org/go/168?t=5&akid=10192.31391.j5TEcC> Check out this folder to view examples of some of our completed translations.


Want some Freedom Cities inspiration?

  _____  

Here?s <https://go.peoplepower.org/go/165?t=6&akid=10192.31391.j5TEcC>  a great article about how different established sanctuary cities (and one sanctuary state!) are effectively blocking ICE and helping to keep immigrant communities safe.

Q&A

QUESTION:  My law enforcement officials have told me that they don?t need to establish pro-immigrant policies in writing because in all the years they?ve worked with the department, ICE has never asked them to carry out federal immigration work such as prolonging a detention or carrying out an arrest, detention, or transportation on the basis of an immigration detainer. How would you suggest we talk to them about coming up with a written policy?

ANSWER: It sounds like your local law enforcement leaders may be supportive of immigrant-friendly and Constitution-friendly policies, but perceive that pushing for their formal adoption in writing is an unnecessary step given their infrequent interactions with ICE.

Although they may have had infrequent interactions with ICE in the past, the current White House is making unprecedented efforts to compel local jurisdictions into directly supporting new federal immigration directives that tear apart families and endanger Muslims, immigrants, refugees, and other members of our communities who might be perceived to be in one of those categories. Having these policies in writing will communicate to the federal government that while local law enforcement has no intention of violating federal law, they will not do the federal government?s work and help advance Trump?s mass deportation agenda.  Indeed, having the policies clearly established in advance, can help to avoid an uncomfortable conversation when ICE does come to pressure your local law enforcement.  They can simply say that their hands are tied.  

Ultimately, it is not the role of local law enforcement to facilitate deportations, and it blurs the line between local law enforcement and federal immigration work. If members of the community are unsure of whether local police are effectively working as agents of ICE, it will hobble relationships in the community and may lead to decreased public safety as undocumented residents may not report crimes or serve as witnesses for fear of arrest, detention, and deportation. Establishing these rules and policies in writing will signal to the local immigrant community that local law enforcement will not comply with the Trump administration's efforts to effectively convert local law enforcement into de facto ICE agents, and help reduce the fear that is pervading many communities across the nation. There have been countless reports of kids avoiding school and domestic violence survivors dropping their cases due to fear of being swooped up in ICE?s dragnet.

Thank you for all of your work and continuing to fight this fight through its challenges. We love seeing all the great organizing you do, and continue to be inspired by your commitment and energy in this movement.

In solidarity,

Samson Ghazey & The People Power Team

Subject: [Occupymendocino] Do Members of Congress deserve health insurance?
Message-ID: <A5433C62-85F1-4D69-91FC-C755004EF9C5@mcn.org>

The New York Times

Tie Congress?s Paychecks to Our Good Health
By Nicholas Kristof

Members of Congress are paid $174,000 a year, while members of Poland?s lower house of Parliament are paid $32,300 a year.

Hmm. It looks as if we?re getting ripped off. Members of Congress seem to underperform compared to members of Parliament in Poland and across the democratic world.

Conservatives are right to worry that feeding at the government trough breeds dependency and laziness. So I suggest we introduce pay for performance, using metrics like, say, health.

I cite Poland because so many Poles (including the Krzysztofowicz family, later renamed Kristof) came to America for a better life, yet today American babies are one-third more likely to die in their first year of life than Polish children are (and twice as likely as Italian, Portuguese and Czech babies!).

Meanwhile, the U.S. spends far more on health care ? an average of nearly $10,000 per person ? than other countries do. Poland spends just $1,680 per person.

This is a stain on America. Choose almost any modern country, and its people pay less for health care and its children are more likely to survive.

In short, we as taxpayers are getting cheated.

But ultimately the United States should follow the example of every other advanced country and ensure health coverage for all. ?We?re going to have insurance for everybody,? President Trump promised a week before taking office. Now he backs plans that would lead to 22 million fewer people having coverage. But if Taiwan, Slovenia, Spain, Japan and just about every other modern country can have coverage for everyone, so can we.

And, members of Congress, here?s the deal: If you ever adopt Medicare for all, I?ll endorse a pay-for-performance pay raise for all of you along with guaranteed, subsidized health insurance.

Oh, never mind. That, you already have.

Comment by Don McCanne

Right now many members of Congress are fighting the concept that health care should be an entitlement (some would say a right). Not only do they offer no realistic assistance for the 28 million who remain uninsured, some members are supporting policies that would cause another 22 million to lose their insurance. If they really believe that not everyone is entitled to have insurance then why do most of us believe that these well paid members of Congress are somehow entitled to generous health care plans, largely funded by us taxpayers?

I could write much more about this, but isn?t that observation enough? Some deserve health care at our expense and others don?t?

A benefit for the privileged? An entitlement? A right? For a few? For everyone?

Do we really have to play rhetorical games to come to the conclusion that everyone should have health care? If we believe that, and most Americans do, then we need to hire members of Congress who agree with us and get rid of those members who think that they are more entitled to health care than the rest of us.
