Join Labor United for Universal Healthcare at our 2016 Summer Garden Party: Celebrating 10 Years of Healthcare Justice on Saturday, June 25, 2016, from 3:00 to 5:00 pm at the home of Cynthia Anderson-Barker and Tim Barker in Westwood/Century City.
Actor and athlete Dwight Hicks will emcee our event: an idyllic afternoon of food and drink, music with guitarist Stan Ayeroff, comic relief from our own Gerry Daley, and honoring two individuals who have demonstrated their commitment to healthcare for all.
Our 2016 Honorees:
Alice Goff is President of AFSCME Local 3090, representing approximately 5,000 Los Angeles City clerical and support services workers.
