Hi, Ady Barkan here. You may know me as a vocal advocate for Medicare for All and longtime partner of National Nurses United.

After I was diagnosed with ALS in 2016, I co-founded Be A Hero and dedicated my life to fighting for Medicare for All and health care justice.

With Democrats in control of the government, we have a window of opportunity to pass universal health care, and there’s not a moment to waste. That’s why I’d like to share my thoughts with you directly on NNU’s national call next week.

Will you join me on January 21 at 5pm PT/8pm ET to prepare for what’s ahead and discuss how you can pressure your representatives to support Medicare for All?

This is our moment. The pandemic has only magnified our broken system of governance. Now, we must use our power to solve the problems our country faces and govern effectively. That means finally addressing our health care crisis head-on and guaranteeing health care as a human right.

I know firsthand what Medicare for All would mean for people like me. It means not having to go bankrupt to stay alive. It means spending your precious time with family and friends instead of arguing with insurance companies. It means being able to stay in our homes with our families and receive long-term care.

A multi-racial coalition of working people across Georgia delivered a historic victory and flipped the Senate. Now we must deliver for them. We must work together to make a real difference in the lives of people throughout the country.

But it is not politicians who will deliver this change, it will come from the people. If you’re ready to take the next step with me in this campaign, join the call on Thursday, January 21.

Hope is not a state of mind. Hope is a state of action.

Let’s get to work.
