Tonight: Robert Reich at UCB


Just a quick note to remind you that Robert Reich is scheduled to speak tonight at 5:30 p.m. at UC Berkeley on "Progressive Leadership in Healthcare Reform."

I just called his assistant to confirm that he will be there, and she said yes. She also mentioned that she was just going through his revised notes for tonight, which means, I think, that this will be a very up-to-date presentation.

The presentation will be at the Martin Luther King Jr. Student Union, which is close to Sather Gate and very easy to access from Bancroft and Telegraph. There's a map included in the link.

Here is the link with the details:


If you can't make it to Robert Reich's presentation tonight, we'll have a write-up tomorrow, with extra notes from one of our nurse/researchers on the recent Anthem Blue Cross rate hike.

In this lecture, Robert Reich, professor of public policy, will discuss "Progressive Leadership in Healthcare Reform." A former Rhodes Scholar, Reich served as the 22nd Labor Secretary under President Bill Clinton. Among his accomplishments were helping to implement the Family and Medical Leave Act, raising the minimum wage and leading a crackdown on sweatshops. He currently serves as an adviser to President Barack Obama.
