Sign up now for the City of Malibu’s Crisis First Aid Class, free for Malibu residents, Wednesday, May 15, 6PM – 7PM at Malibu City Hall and learn how to save a life! When tragedy strikes, it is often up to bystanders to administer emergency first aid until professional first responders arrive. The Crisis First Aid class will cover the first aid skills needed to help save a life in a crisis situation, including patient assessment, opening the airway, bleeding control and hands-only CPR. Minutes can sometimes mean the difference between life and death, and these skills may help save the life of a family member or friend. The class is meant to be a basic skills training for immediate life safety during the short time between a life-threatening injury and the arrival of paramedics. The class does not provide comprehensive first aid certification.

RSVPs are recommended. Class size is limited to 50 people.

To RSVP:  visit MalibuSafety.EventBrite.com.

For more information, call Stephanie Berger, Public Safety Specialist, at 310-456-2489 ext. 368 or email sberger@malibucity.org.

Join us for coffee/tea, a bit of breakfast, and a discussion of  the Mueller report. 

Lance Simmens has spent nearly four decades in senior level policy, political, and governmental positions at Federal, State, and local levels of government, has written over 350 articles for Huffington Post, is currently a regular contributor to the LA Progressive and is the author of two books, The Evolution of a Revolution: An Attack Upon Reason, Compromise, and the Constitution, and Fracktured. He is currently First Vice-President of the Malibu Democratic Club, Commissioner of Public Works for Malibu and has served as President of the Malibu Adamson House Foundation.

Ted Vaill is a former federal prosecutor, attended Colgate and University of Chicago Law School, practiced law for 50 years in LA, for 10 years was a delegate to CADEM, has written over 70 articles for LAProgressive.com, is a former President and now VP of Malibu Democratic Club, and a former Planning and Parks and Recreation Commissioner in Malibu. 

The Mueller report is a seminal development in the Trump Presidency, an Administration characterized by lies, deceit, and corruption. What is at stake is the very survival of our democratic processes, including checks and balances, the rule of law, and separation of powers.

It is vital, as we approach the 2020 election, that we keep ourselves well informed, discuss the issues that confront the nation and the Party, and stand as a united opposition to ensure that Donald Trump is not re-elected.
