[2]National Nurses United


Hi, I'm
Phil. 

I am an organizer in Sacramento, California, with National Nurses United.
I don’t usually write emails like this, but today I have a very exciting
announcement and an invitation for you.

In order to win Medicare for All – we need to pursue every avenue
available to us. One avenue we have while we continue to build power at
the national level is to fight for single payer health care at the state
level.

States can, on their own, decide to move every resident in their state to
their own version of a Medicare for All system. That’s why we’re about to
embark on a huge campaign to fight for single-payer health care in
California to set a powerful precedent for the rest of the country and get
one step closer to Medicare for All nationally. 

We know you don’t live in California, but we want to invite you to stay in
the loop about this campaign if you’re interested. [ [link removed] ]Add your name here

Even if you don’t sign up, we’ll still send you updates from time to time
in key moments when national pressure could advance the campaign. But if
you want to know the latest, sign up above. And If you know someone in
California who wants to be involved, please forward them this email!

If you’ve been part of this movement for a while, you know that California
nurses have been fighting for single-payer for decades. 

In 2017, a single-payer health care bill – SB 562 – passed the State
Senate but was stalled in the Assembly. 

We think that the circumstances of the pandemic are ripe to relaunch a
renewed effort for health care justice this January. California has the
opportunity to be a leader on health care when we need it most – but only
if we demand it.

health care in California, please sign up here.

California has often led the way in enacting progressive legislation
before it is enacted nationally. We don’t ultimately know what trajectory
the fight to win Medicare for All will take, but we do know that we have
to fight on every platform we can. 

In solidarity, 

Phillip Kim
