RECAP: SPECIAL TOPIC TOWN HALL ON LABOR

While our economy is the strongest in the world, too many hardworking Americans are being left behind. We launched "The Future of Work, Wages, and Labor" initiative in 2016 before the Presidential election to develop solutions to grow our economy while preparing for the future. Thank you to all who joined us in Concord for our 70th town hall on this important topic. We are working in Congress to ensure that the future of our economy works for everyone, not just those at the very top.

If you were unable to attend our labor town hall, you can still take part in the conversation by watching the livestream of the event here.

Discussing the Importance of Local News
The Sons In Retirement held its monthly meeting in Moraga where East Bay Times editorial page editor Daniel Borenstein and Mark shared their thoughts on the importance of local news, the changing face of journalism, and the need to have a free and open press cover our communities and our country.
