The "Potluck for Progressives" is a group organized

for the purpose of bringing together likeminded

people on a weekly basis to break bread and talk about

crucial issues affecting the community and the world.

At each meeting, people interested in peace, social

justice, labor, and the environment gather to exchange

ideas, talk about successes, plan actions, or just

engage in a friendly discussion with one another.

Bring a dish to share! Enjoy the bounty that others

bring as well! The potluck will start at 12:30 p.m. with

a speaker or film to follow at 1:30 p.m. Please join

us even if you can't bring any food!

On the Agenda:

Progressive Potluck

12:30 - 1:30 P.M.

Bring along your favorite dish of food,

chips, dips, or soft drinks, and spend

an hour mingling with progressive people

from all over Orange County.

Featured Speaker:

1:30 - 2:30 P.M.

Tam Thanh Nguyen, a Chief Nurse Representative at a

local Orange County hospital and a member of the newly

formed United American Nurses-National Nurses Organizing

Committee (AFL-CIO), will talk about the need to

establish a universal, single-payer health care system

within the United States.

Nguyen will compare our current "free market,

consumer-driven model" -- dominated by big insurance

companies which make billions of dollars in profit

each year by limiting or denying quality health

care to millions of sick and injured people -- with

a universal, single-payer health care system.

In addition, Nguyen will review legislation pending

the U.S. Congress and the California State legislature

and offer suggestions on how we can rid ourselves of a

wasteful, bureaucratic, for-profit health care system

that mostly benefits the financial interests of a tiny

handful of rich people on Wall Street.

Open Forum

2:30 - 3:00 P.M.

Open discussion, announcements,

and other news of interest.

The "Potluck for Progressives" is endorsed by the

Social Concerns Committee of the Unitarian Universalist

Church in Anaheim and is free and open to the

general public. Although a small donation might

be requested to help pay for facility costs, nobody

will be turned away due to a lack of funds.
