Los Rios Community College faculty union president Dean Murakami (at podium, left photo)) spoke at a press conference April 30 at the Lois Hart Senior Center in Sacramento, against Prop 1A. Murakami and others were there in solidarity with the seniors whose lives will be impacted by cuts in social services if Prop 1A passes.  They stood beneath a shredded umbrella, symbolizing the holes in the logic of a "rainy day fund" that would remove funding from the state's general fund in both good times and bad.  On May 14 in Santa Cruz, former CCE/CFT president Robert Chacanaca spoke at a No on 1A event, along with (from left) Joe Keffer, SEIU, Jennifer Colby, CFA, and Joan Lowe, Santa Cruz Classified.  Click here for more information on the May 19 Special Election.
