San Diego Working Families To Participate in National Candlelight Campaign Against Cuts

Urge Senator Dianne Feinstein to Say: No Cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security Benefits, End Tax Cuts for 2%

San Diego– On December 10, San Diego working families will gather at 750 B Street for a candlelight event to keep pressure on Senator Dianne Feinstein to say no to any cuts in benefits to Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security, and to end tax cuts to the richest 2%. San Diegans spoke out loud and clear about their priorities in this election, and it’s important to remind politicians of that clear message.
