John,

The COVID-19 pandemic has made passing Medicare for All more urgent than ever. Before the summer ends, it is estimated that 27 million people in our country will have lost their health insurance due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 crisis.

National Nurses United — the largest nurses union in the country — is building a movement to win Medicare for All and finally recognize health care as a human right in our country.

NNU is hosting a Medicare for All Summer Strategy Call on Tuesday, July 14th at 5 pm PT / 8 pm ET to discuss strategies and build the movement for Medicare for All. Will you sign up to attend?

RSVP

Speakers on the strategy call will include:

• Cathy Kennedy, President-elect, California Nurses Association & National Nurses Organizing Committee

Patrisse Cullors, Co-founder of Black Lives Matter and Reform LA Jails

Justice Democrat Ro Khanna (CA-17)

Dr. Sanjeev Sriram, Social Security Works

And more

Our current, for-profit health-care system deepens entrenched inequities in our country.

Mass protests against police brutality have re-ignited a national conversation on systemic racism. People of color in the US already faced disproportionate lack of health care, and COVID-19 has only worsened this dynamic.

We’re in a crisis like never before, but we also face an opportunity and challenge of growing the size and scale of this movement like never before. We have to fight for policies that match the scale of the crises we’re collectively facing.

Join Patrisse Cullors, Ro Khanna, Dr. Sanjeev Sriram, and Cathy Kennedy for NNU’s Summer Medicare for All Strategy Call on July 14th at 5 pm PT / 8 pm ET and join the movement to fight for health care as a human right.

Thank you for being a part of our movement for progress,

Alexandra Rojas
