[1]NNU - Medicare for All!
This week, we held our first Medicare for All National Strategy Call of
2025 to lay out our plans for the coming months, including how we can
fight back against the federal government’s threats to our public health
care system while continuing to build support for Medicare for All
legislation in Congress.
We heard directly from our very own Cathy Kennedy, RN and president of
National Nurses United, our friend and long-time Medicare for All champion
Senator Bernie Sanders, Swathi and Shruthi Bhuma from our allies at
Physicians for a National Health Plan (PNHP), and Gillian Mason, Executive
Director from Healthcare-NOW.

This administration’s proposed cuts to Medicaid, possible further
privatization of Medicare, and the defunding of public health services and
medical research would be devastating to the health and well-being of
people in this country. It has never been more clear that we must mobilize
to defeat these profit-driven threats to cut health care from millions of
people as we also fight in the longer term to win Medicare for All.
In this critical moment for our movement, the most important thing we can
do is unite in action. That’s why we’re working to organize House Parties
across the country to bring people from local communities together to
oppose these threats to health care and fight for Medicare for All.

House Party in your community during the month of March! We’ll provide all
the support to make it happen: sign up now!

These House Parties will become the basis for volunteer-led legislative
visits with members of Congress to coincide with the reintroduction of
Medicare for All bills into the House and Senate, which we anticipate will
happen later this spring.

In the face of these challenges, we the people must step up and take
leadership in our communities and this movement. Thank you for anything
you can do to support our work and mobilize for the sake of health care
justice.
In solidarity,
Nurses’ Campaign to Win Medicare for All
