[1]NNU - Medicare for All!
Last night, we held a huge town hall in Bakersfield, California — one of
the most competitive congressional swing districts, with the most Medicaid
recipients in the country — to discuss the Trump administration’s cuts to
our health care and how we fight back.

300 people came together to attend this event just weeks after Rep. David
Valadao lied to his constituents and voted to cut nearly $1 trillion from
Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and other federal health programs.
Now, we’re on a mission to hold him accountable.
This town hall, cosponsored by 24 unions and local organizations, was a
great success. We grounded ourselves by hearing from nurse leaders about
what these cuts will mean for patients and for all of us. We heard from a
panel of powerful community leaders with organizations like ACLU Southern
California, Dolores Huerta Foundation, the California Teachers Association
(CTA), United Domestic Workers of America (UDW), and Health Access
California. We also heard from local elected leaders about how we can
fight back in California.
Our most important next step is to make sure as many people as possible
know about the upcoming cuts, which is why we’re hosting three canvass
events for nurses and allies to get out and talk to our neighbors.
As part of our nationwide efforts to knock doors on this issue, we’ll be
going out into communities across the Central Valley and talking to our
neighbors about what these cuts mean and how we can hold Republicans like
Rep. Valadao accountable for supporting them.
