We have good news.
Saturday, August 22, is our national day of action for Medicare for All, and there’s a socially distanced event happening near you.
We’re in the midst of a public health crisis, and we need to show massive public support for guaranteed, free health care for all. Our current system is failing to protect nurses and patients – millions of whom have lost their employer-based health care when they need it most.
Event details:
For this action, attendees will be asked to make a sign in support of Medicare for All, and then meet up (socially distanced) in a highly visible area like a street corner or overpass to take a photo and demonstrate support to the community.
After you sign up, the volunteer host of this action will reach out to you before the action to give further instructions and touch base. All of these actions will be done while practicing social distancing and public health guidelines.
Before the day of your event, please take the time to review the safety guidelines we developed in response to recent uprisings against racial injustice to ensure that the Day of Action event is as safe as possible.
This Medicare for All event is one of dozens of volunteer-led events happening across the country to demonstrate the strength of our movement and call on our representatives in Congress to act.
Recent polling shows that 69% of voters support Medicare for All. We are the majority, but we need to be more vocal and visible to demand the support of our leaders. These actions are key to showing our collective power and growing our movement.
Thanks for joining us in the fight for health care justice.
