August 30 | Moms Club Documentary Screening & Panel Discussion
2:00 PM
Westlake Village

About the film:
When a group of suburban moms discovers their public schools are under attack by a powerful network of religious extremists, they form a secret resistance to protect LGBTQ+ students and defend public education. Using open-source intelligence (OSINT), investigative tactics, and a nationwide grassroots network, they work to expose the movement and reclaim their communities.
Powerful, timely, and deeply personal, Moms Club is a story of ordinary people organizing to defend democracy, inclusion, and the future of public education.August 16 | Non-Profit Spotlight on Senior Concerns

We are sick and tired of our healthcare system putting profits before people. We need to create a future where every single person can get the care they need regardless of their ability to pay. We need Medicare for All. My op-ed with @publiccitizen.bsky.social: truthout.org/articles/our...

Ilhan Omar: Our Health Care System Is Broken Beyond Repair. We Need Medicare for All.

Repealing Medicare cuts and restoring ACA subsidies are the first step. But ultimately, we need universal health care.

Buttigieg: Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that there have to be nine Supreme Court justices. That one doesn't even take a constitutional amendment. It just takes a readiness to set up a court that fits this country.

House Republicans just voted to hand Trump and ICE another $70 billion — despite growing evidence of abuse, cruelty, dangerous conditions inside detention facilities like Delaney Hall, and the horrifying violence we’ve seen in places like Minnesota.

Rep. Lieu: “The Supreme Court is out of control, out of touch with the American people…This is the most corrupt Supreme Court we’ve seen in our history, and reform is going to come next year."

If you don’t like what you’re seeing at Delaney Hall, pay attention to what’s happening in Congress this week.   We must stop giving ICE and for-profit companies like GEO Group a blank check to create chaos.
