View Recording of our March 17th visit to Speaker McCarthy’s office:

Facebook Recording

MARCH 17TH WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!!
SPEAKER MCCARTHY HEARD US LOUD AND CLEAR
Over 700 people from as far away as Eureka to the North and San Diego to the South and everywhere in between showed up to a clear, sunny day at Yokuts Park in Bakersfield. Was Speaker McCarthy there? NO.  But he knew we were there, and he knew what our message is:  Hands Off Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.
From the very start, McCarthy’s office called out the private security guards, Bakersfield PD and even the Secret Service to try and stop our peaceful protest.  We moved our program to Yokuts park – after we all marched to McCarthy’s office and posted our handwritten messages to him on his office door.  And we texted, called, tweeted, and emailed his office in Bakersfield and in Washington D.C.  We were heard.

We were inspired by speakers from our labor and community partners, with the whole event live streamed on Facebook thanks to Social Security Works.  If you were unable to attend, you can see the action here:  recording of livestream here.  Our action was featured in the local press too:  take a look below:

This event was possible because of so many individuals and organizations – too many to name right here.  A special shout out to our sound technicians – Kale and Yvette Dumler who made the day possible, and to so, so many others.

This is just the beginning of our work together to hold Speaker McCarthy and the GOP accountable and to demand that they keep their HANDS OFF MEDICARE, MEDICAID, AND SOCIAL SECURITY!!
