Join us on Mon., 11/23 -- Stand Strong for Inclusive Health Reform (SF)

Communities of color from across California are gathering at the health reform table because we are part of this country. Back in Washington, DC, people like Rep. Joe Wilson represent America’s worst. On Monday, November 23, in San Francisco, we will assert ourselves as immigrants because we are America. We are disappointed about how public conversations about who immigrants are have led to the exclusion of immigrants in health reform legislation.

But there is an underside to the company’s story of growth. CVS does a worse job than its major national competitors at providing fair and equal access to its stores and health care services.
