‘Red Alert’ Hospital Tour in Oceanside to Save Hospitals, Protect Patients
Join us on Feb. 21 for the nurses’ national hospital tour to build power and community support across the country, with a goal of saving vulnerable U.S. hospitals from cuts or closure. Trump and Republicans have gutted health care programs like Medicaid — programs that keep our hospitals running — all to fund billionaire tax breaks and ICE. Together, nurses, patients, and our allies are fighting back against this cruelty, demanding a healthy society based on care and compassion.
This is a community-wide, family-friendly event with activities, a free children’s book, and free tacos while supplies last! There will also be a mobile health clinic staffed by nurses providing free wellness checks from 11am to 4pm. The rally will start at 12pm.

VIGIL for ALEX PRETTI, RN
Join CNA VA Nurses & UCSD Nurses holding a vigil over the DHS killing of RN Alex Pettri at the VA in La Jolla.

SE Corner of Gilman & Villa La Jolla (GPS 32.876718, -117.233194)

WEEK OF ACTION IN HONOR OF ALEX PRETTI, RN AND ALL OTHERS KILLED BY ICE
Veterans Affairs ICU registered nurse Alex Pretti, who saved veterans’ lives at the Minneapolis VA, was killed by ICE agents on Jan 24 during ongoing protests over immigration enforcement operations. Pretti upheld his oath to advocate for and protect his patients and community to the very end as a peaceful, public legal observer of ICE atrocities. Nurses across the Country are holding actions to honor the fallen nurse. While this vigil has been brought about by Nurse Pretti's death, we must never forget all those who have lost their lives in ICE's radical increase of enforcement tactics, we will be honoring their lives as well and call for justice.
Join National Nurses United RN members to honor Pretti and all who have been murdered by ICE, as well as demand that Congress vote to immediately abolish this violent, racist, and lawless agency that poses a dire public health threat to all of our communities.
Single-Payer Healthcare Forum

Join us to support the Empty 2nd Home & Vacation Rental Tax - Housing for San Diegans!
San Diego's housing crisis is a class issue. While 10,000+ homes sit empty or as mini-hotels, the working class is priced out. The Empty Second Home & Vacation Rental Tax will ensure the wealthy, less than 1%, & mega-corporations pay their fair share for hoarding housing AND will open up housing for San Diegans.
To make San Diego work for San Diegans, we fight back by organizing and showing our power.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
1. SHOW UP & PACK THE RULES COMMITTEE HEARING!
When: Wednesday, January 28
Arrive by 8:30 AM to grab seats before the SD Chamber of Commerce fills them!

WHAT'S NEXT: If it passes committee, it goes to the full City Council in March 2026. If the San Diego City Council approves, it goes to the June 2026 ballot as a Measure for YOU to decide! This is how we build a San Diego for the many, not the few.

Southwest Teachers Assoc. Rally!
On Monday, January 26, the school board will be meeting at West View for the day. Please join teachers and concerned families/community members after school from 3-5pm to show solidarity and support for our teachers who deserve a contract that is fair and gives them a decent raise.
In addition, we are calling on families who are able to keep their students out of school on Monday, January 26 BEFORE a teacher strike may take effect. We want to show the school board that a teacher strike will hurt because many parents will keep students home.
Attendance = Money in SBUSD, and money seems to speak the loudest to our superintendent.
UNAC/UHCP Kaiser STRIKE Kick Off!
Kaiser Permanente has $67 BILLION in cash but claims it "can't afford" safe staffing for patients. Its CEO gets millions while patients suffer long waits and nurses face burnout.
This Monday, January 26, UNAC/UHCP @unacuhcp @kaisersandiegounac nurses and healthcare workers begin an OPEN-ENDED STRIKE to force Kaiser @kaiserpermanente @kpscal @kpsandiegocounty to put PATIENTS OVER PROFITS. They never want to strike, but Kaiser's greed has made it necessary to protect patient care.
WHY IT MATTERS: A strike is the most powerful tool workers have to level the playing field with a greedy boss. When healthcare workers win safe staffing, fair pay, and a voice on the job, our entire community wins better care.
JOIN THEM! Your SDICLC @sdiclaborcouncil will be on the strike line this Monday, Jan 26 at 10 AM at Kaiser Zion to kick off the first day of this brave, open-ended STRIKE. Let's show massive union + community solidarity! Bring your signs, your voice, and your solidarity. This is how the working class wins big.
JOIN US for the UNAC/UHCP Kaiser OPEN-ENDED STRIKE Kick Off!
MONDAY, January 26
10 AM
Kaiser Permanente Zion Medical Center
4647 Zion Ave, San Diego, CA 92120
➡️ RSVP to join the strike line using the QR codes in the images!

Radical Sustainability: The Power of Purchase
꒰ • RADICAL SUSTAINABILITY ❁ THE POWER OF PURCHASE • ꒱
(੭ˊᵕˋ)੭ FREE EVENT FOR EVERYONE
Join me and other compassionate comrades who are ready to implement real change in their communities. Together, we will get to the roots of consumerism and begin to understand what our purchases are funding- here and abroad. This presentation will mainly focus on food consumerism, but will have many connections to social justice issues even within our own community. We will cover one of the most powerful non-violent tools YOU possess, your dollar. From boycotts, to mutual aid, to The Black Panther free breakfast program, to indigenous wisdom and so much more!
Even more importantly we will discuss zero waste and ethical alternatives. Resistance comes in many forms, but we need to get organized and aligned. We need to connect our movements for social justice to the pressing realities of the climate catastrophe. From San Diego, to Chicago, to Palestine, to the Congo we are all global citizens of planet earth and only together can we move forward.
EVERYONE of every shape, color, and planet is welcome! It is for anyone who has felt the cries of the earth pulling on their heart strings. The time for change is NOW and if we want a better world, we need to start imagining what that better world looks like. We don't have to be perfect, but we need to try. This event is going to be filled with creativity, community, and joy.

Starbucks Workers United baristas across the country are strong and united. We're fired up and ready to do whatever it takes to secure a fair union contract and resolve unfair labor practices – including striking if necessary.
Join baristas in San Diego on Starbucks busiest sales day of the year, to make sure the company knows customers and community members stand with union baristas in their fight for a fair contract and an end to the company’s years-long union busting campaign.
Starbucks can afford a fair contract. It would cost less than one day of sales. Let’s remind them that workers have receipts!

Gov't Shutdown Rally at Issa's
The government shutdown is hurting real people:
• 1.4 million federal workers are working without pay or locked out of their jobs.
• 42 million people, including children and seniors, are at risk of losing food benefits (SNAP).
• Millions will lost their healthcare or have to pay up to double or higher to keep their healthcare if Trump and Republicans don't extend healthcare subsidies.
This isn't a political game—it's a crisis for workers and working families. Trump and Congressional Republicans can end this now, but they're refusing to extend healthcare subsidies that the working class needs.
Join us to tell Rep. Darrell Issa that San Diego demands OPENING THE GOVERNMENT AND HEALTHCARE. Our workers and our most vulnerable neighbors should not be used as bargaining chips.

Stand Up for Public Service Workers! (Teamsters 2010)
Meet at Library Walk and Gilman Drive at UCSD; we'll march to rally in front of Geisel Library.
Shuttles will pick people up from La Jolla and Hillcrest starting at 11:30 AM
Public service workers are the backbone of our communities, providing the essential services that keep campuses, hospitals, and cities running every day. Yet UCSD has refused to work with us to prevent layoffs—pushing out dedicated employees and hurting our community. And the Federal Administration is attacking public workers, our jobs and our freedoms—slashing funding, filing frivolous lawsuits against public universities, and trying to take away our freedom to picket, rally and strike.
We’re rallying for the dignity of Public Service workers, to demand UCSD stop the layoffs and reinstate the workers who’ve already been let go, and for fair contracts for UCSD workers!
Invite your friends, family and whoever!
Lunch will be provided!
