Preserve, Improve, and Expand Social Security Rally
2017-08-14 12:00 - 13:30 | Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, Oakland, CA, United States
Social Security is alive and well now, but just like Medicaid and Medicare, Social Security is under attack. We must defend it. Join us on Social Security’s 82 birthday to celebrate it, and re-dedicate ourselves to defend and improve Social Security and all these vital programs.
Monday, August 14, 12 Noon, in Oakland’s Frank Ogawa Plaza
Broadway and 14th St, 12th St BART Station.
Rally and Two-Block March to Federal Building
Confirmed Speakers to date:

Alex Lawson: Executive Director, Social Security Works
Norman Solomon: Author, Columnist, Activist

Over its 82 years, Social Security has provided income and dignity for hundreds of millions of retirees and people with disabilities, their spouses and children, and for deceased workers’ spouses and children. For two thirds of seniors, it’s over half their income. Half of women and people with disabilities would be in poverty without Social Security. Almost 10% of children get it. We will NOT go back to the days of workhouses!
Social Security is the nation’s most effective anti-poverty program, yet it is entirely funded by we who work for a living, through FICA deductions from our paychecks, and by our employers. Not a cent comes from the government. In fact, our $2.8 Trillion Social Security Trust Fund is invested in loans to help the government run. Those loans must be repaid to Social Security. It’s our program, our money! Our past, our future!
For years, the same corporate and financial vultures who eliminated defined-benefit employee pensions have also tried to destroy Social Security. Their hedge-fund crooks like Peter Peterson put out fake studies to undermine people’s faith in Social Security. Their official Commissions, like Bowles/Simpson recommend: Raising the Retirement age. Cutting benefits and cost-of-living increases. Worst of all, turning Social Security into private individual accounts for each recipient, invested in risky Wall Street stock market accounts with expensive management fees. Instead of having a unified program of collectively-guaranteed economic security for everyone, we’d be individuals at the mercy of Wall Street’s insider trading and boom-and-bust whims.
Now, the Trump administration wants to eliminate the payroll tax, which is the financial foundation of Social Security. And Trump’s 2018 budget calls for $64 Billion in cuts over the next ten years to Social Security Disability Insurance, an integral part of Social Security. Most of these “savings” would come from reduced future enrollment because of new work requirements.
We have a different plan: Scrap the $127,000 cap and make the rich pay Social Security tax on all their income. Raise benefits to cover actual cost of living and disappearing pensions. Enact a realistic cost-of-living formula. Provide benefits for time caring for young children. Restore student benefits for children of deceased or disabled covered parents.
We must remember that our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents won Social Security in the mid-1930s, the depths of the Great Depression, when everything looked stacked against us. Social Security must be preserved, improved, and expanded. In the 1930s, Roosevelt said “Make me do it!” We did. We can do it again. We must do it again!

2017-04-16 06:30 - 08:30 | Mount Davidson Cross, 39 Dalewood Way, San Francisco, CA, 94127, United States
San Francisco’s grandest Easter morning tradition gets under way at 6:30 a.m. on Sunday, April 16, 2017: the annual Sunrise Service at Mount Davidson Cross. This year’s citywide celebration atop the City’s highest peak marks the 95th anniversary of the event. Enjoy early movie footage of this tradition from the 1920s.
Local clergy presiding at the citywide non-denominational service include Rev. Jeff Mammen of New Life Church, Rev. Nerses Balabanian of Calvary Amenian Congregational Church, Rev. Tim Svoboda of Youth With A Mission City Ministries, Rev. Chris Davis of Redemption Church and Pastor Jordan Hall of Trinity Church, who will deliver the Easter message.
A number of community leaders have also been invited to take part in Easter Sunrise 2017, including SF Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White. The program also features musical performances by Voice of Victory and Lynne Miller of The House of Bagpipes.
Situated at the summit of Mt. Davidson (elevation 938 ft.), America’s largest cross will be illuminated by spotlights throughout Saturday evening, April 15, shining as a beacon for Easter morning pilgrims (Note: great location shot at the corner of Robinhood Way and Lansdale Avenue on Saturday night).
Special bus service on Muni’s 36 line begins at 5:30 a.m. and runs every 15 minutes from Forest Hill Station to the park gate located at the intersection of Lansdale Avenue, Myra Drive and Dalewood Way – two blocks south of Portola Drive. Call (415) 673-MUNI for further transit information.
Sponsored by local churches and broadcast nationally in years past, the Easter Sunrise Service attendance record was set during World War II, with an estimated 50,000 worshippers in attendance.
Originally dedicated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in a transcontinental ceremony in 1934, the 103-foot-tall Mt. Davidson Cross has been restored by the Council of Armenian-American Organizations of Northern California, owners of the monument.
With the sun rising over the East Bay hills, Mt. Davidson Park’s beautiful forest setting serves as a spectacular backdrop for this cherished Easter event. Adding to the visual appeal of the panoramic view of San Francisco Bay and the downtown skyline at dawn is the dazzling springtime array of wildflowers currently in bloom.
Those planning to attend Easter Sunrise 2017 are advised to dress warmly and wear comfortable walking shoes for the short walk to the summit. The park entrance across from 39 Dalewood Way affords the easiest route to the top. For more details, call (415) 566-8393.
