[2]National Nurses United




We’re just 6 days away from the Medicare for All National Summer Strategy
Call, and we have an exciting update to share with you: we’ll be joined by
Patrisse Cullors, artist, political strategist, co-founder of Black Lives
Matter & founder of Reform LA Jails.

Patrisse will be joining as a featured speaker to discuss this historic
moment, and why the fight for guaranteed health care for all is part of
the larger fight for racial equality.

Historic mass uprisings against police brutality have re-ignited a
national conversation on systemic racism that lives in every facet of our
society. People of color in the US already faced disproportionate lack of
health care, and COVID-19 has only worsened this dynamic. 

A new report from The New York Times brings to light the massive racial
inequalities in our health system and in broader society.^1 Black and
Brown people are three times as likely to be infected by — and twice as
likely to die from — COVID-19 as their white neighbors. 

This isn’t a coincidence, but the inevitable result of systemic racial
disparity within our country. Representing the greatest share of essential
workers, Black, Native American, and Latinx communities are put at a
higher risk of infection, while also overrepresented in the uninsured and
underinsured population. 

In order to completely unroot and transform this system, we need Medicare
for All, the only plan that will guarantee quality health care for
everyone free at the point of service regardless of race.

our team to join the next phase of this campaign and help build the
movement for Medicare for All.
