”Refinery Town;” Richmond Refines Grassroots Model AND Introducing, UCI’s School of Nursing

Labor activist Steve Early to talk about his recently published book, "Refinery Town; Big Oil, Big Money, and the Remaking of an American City," published by Beacon Press. He’ll offer promising news about the force of grassroots efforts from the Richmond Progressive Alliance vis a vis the Chevron Corporation juggernaut. Copies of this book are available at: http://steveearly.org/, http://www.beacon.org/Refinery-Town-P1229.aspx, or your favorite independent book dealer. Then we’re one of the first to present on the airwaves, the founding dean of UCI’s Sue and Bill Gross School of Nursing and a professor of nursing science, Dr. Adey M. Nyamathi. She links current initiatives with the degrees offered at the school, to prepare these vaunted professionals in the trenches, in delivering better healthcare for all.
