Today, hundreds of community members from the Chinese Progressive Association and the Progressive Workers Alliance (PWA) took part in a national Day of Action with Occupy Wall Street West, which aimed to shut down San Francisco’s Financial District. The day is significant because it is the eve of the two year anniversary of the infamous Citizens United ruling that recognized corporations as “people,” and gave them new rights to spend unlimited amounts of money to influence political campaigns.

The hearing comes a week after a new study was released by UC Hastings which documents the significant shortfall of charity care that CPMC provides compared to other non-profit hospitals in San Francisco, despite having the highest profit margin.
