Dear Friend,
Finally! The longest ever government shutdown in U.S. history is over and we survived it... Barely.
Well, what’s next?
‘Tis the season for open enrollment in health care! The very special (read: anxious) time of year when we’re all choosing health insurance plans and figuring out our premiums. That’s why this upcoming Zoom meeting is a must-attend. We are thrilled to announce that Leader Stacey Abrams will join the call on Thursday, November 20th to break down what the recent changes in health care mean for all of us and how we can come together to fight to protect affordable care.
RSVP now for this critical online convening to protect our health care and our communities!
Yes, the government shutdown has ended, but for many families there is still a lot of financial uncertainty, especially when it comes to their health care. The recent Congressional spending bill did not extend the enhanced health care tax credits that many people (millions!) rely on, leaving them unsure about how to navigate open enrollment. As a result, insurance premium prices are projected to rise (more than double!) for millions and become unaffordable causing people to drop coverage altogether. [1] Too many folks are at risk for losing affordable health care, especially the working-class, immigrant communities, and single-parent households.
We’ve saved health care before and it’s time for us to mobilize again for our families! Join our Community Zoom Meeting this Thursday, November 20th at 8:30 pm ET/5:30 pm PT! RSVP now for this online community meeting.
At this virtual gathering, you will:
✅ Experience a rare chance to hear directly from Leader Stacey Abrams, who’s been at the forefront of fighting for access to health care and standing up for our communities.
✅ Learn what the expiration of the federal health subsidies could mean for premiums and coverage for millions of families.
✅ Hear from experts and leading advocates about what Congress can do to take immediate action; Connect in community about how to take action and walk away knowing how to get your folks involved.
✅ Find out ways to share your story! Every story strengthens our movement.
Please forward this message to everyone you know who is ready to take action and build power for the times ahead, and ask them to join the meeting too!
Together, we can create a brighter, more hopeful future. Will you join us?
