More than 62,000 grocery workers in Southern California remain unsure if their employers (Albertsons, Ralps & Vons) would grant them their rights. Speaking at an interfaith event in support of grocery workers, the Executive Director reminded the grocery companies that "profits are good but moral deficit is bad for the company." We hope that the workers receive a fair and just agreement and do not strike but if they do - as people of faith and conscience we ought not to cross the picket line. Click here for a quick poll.

INDEPENDENCE FOR ALL OR SOME? 

Statue of Liberty with fireworks


What's the history of Independence Day and is it for everyone? Who wrote the Declaration of Independence  and other fun facts about Independence Day. While participating the celebrations in your city please report any untoward incidence such as one last year in Corona. During the celebrations let us remember the communities across America and also pray for those whose independence  does not seem to be anywhere on the horizon.
BUDGET PASSED, BUT...

Gov. Brown signs budget July 1, 2011


Finally the California State Budget has passed but many people ask is it fair? The budget calls for deep cuts to Universities, Courts and the poor on one hand and projects rosy revenues  on the other hand, yet it is no where close to be balanced. The budget leaves taxes, reforms to voters, along with an angry group of more than 25,000 small online businesses and may also face legal fights with counties like Orange.
