Los Angeles activists tell Biden: Roll back prices now!

Los Angeles: Harriet Tubman Center for Social Justice founder John Parker addressed shoppers and passers-by Dec. 18 in the first of a planned series of street meetings about the national wave of price-gouging by oil companies, grocery chains and other corporate thieves. 

The Harriet Tubman Center joins activists from Baltimore’s People’s Power Assembly in calling for President Joe Biden to issue an executive order to roll back prices. Biden has been quick to spend some $70 billion in weapons and other aid for the U.S. proxy war in Ukraine this year – but millions of people here at home need relief. 

The failure by the White House to do anything about price hikes is making the holidays particularly hard for workers across the U.S.

Activists in San Diego are also planning street meetings.
