Comrades! 



As a global pandemic rages, millions are being thrown into unemployment and uninsurance. The cruelty of a for-profit healthcare system can no longer be tolerated. We must make a stand for a basic moral truth: healthcare is a human right!

That’s why DSA is building the movement to win free, comprehensive, and guaranteed quality healthcare for all Californians this year. That starts with demanding Governor Newsom request a waiver from the Biden Administration, allowing California to use federal Medicare and Affordable Care Act money to set up a single-payer system. Both Newsom and the incoming Secretary of Health & Human Services, Xavier Becerra — who was appointed by Newsom as California Attorney General, and who will now be the official to grant these waivers — are on record as single-payer advocates, but only organized working class pressure can force them to buck their billionaire donors and stand by their words.



Over the past month, we’ve been planning this as part of a statewide multi-organizational campaign, decided upon and endorsed democratically within the Healthy California Now coalition, and on Sunday we were the flagship co-sponsor to launch, including premiering two videos from our chapter’s video team! 







We are calling on Newsom to deliver on his promise and lead on Medicare for All. The petition has already gotten more than 3200 signatures, with our chapter alone accounting for 1600! Our goal is to get 10,000 signatures for East Bay DSA by Inauguration Day, January 20. We need your help. Can you join our fight??
