Last night, we held our final Medicare for All Movement Call of the year!
Here’s what you missed:
We were joined by about 120 supporters from across the country where we spent time together in community, heard updates on the national campaign, and learned hands-on skills to advance the fight for health care justice.
We paid tribute to Ady Barkan, an incredible leader in the health care justice movement who passed away last month. Ady was diagnosed with ALS in 2016, and spent his remaining years fighting for Medicare for All — he co-founded Be a Hero, testified at a Medicare for All hearing in Congress, and so much more. When we win Medicare for All, Ady’s name will go down in history as a major reason why. Rest in power, Ady.
We also recapped the current state of Medicare for All legislation in Congress, H.R. 3421 and S. 1655, and gave a sneak peek at some of our organizing plans for 2024.
Our guest speaker, Gillian Mason with Healthcare-NOW, gave a great overview of their new project Voices of U.S. Healthcare, a national storybank of health care stories from people like you. If you have a story of your own, you can submit it here. And if you can volunteer with them to collect more stories, sign up here.
Then, we held a training on writing and sharing our own personal stories! Attendees spent time on the call writing their story using our Medicare for All Personal Story Worksheet, and spent time in small breakout groups to practice.
Finally, we recapped some of the key ways that supporters can get involved in the campaign to win Medicare for All right now:
Be sure to join us at the next Movement Call, and stay tuned for more updates for our plans in 2024!
In solidarity,
Nurses’ Campaign to Win Medicare for All
