Health Advocates,

This week’s actions in Congress show that we are at a critical moment to secure our health priorities in the buget reconcilation package. It's time to band together, raise our voices, and fight for the health and health care our families deserve. We’re here to support you in this endeavor.


** Upcoming Actions
------------------------------------------------------------
Families USA Call-In Day ([link removed]) - On Wednesday, September 22nd join us in calling members of congress and telling them to seize this moment by passing big and bold legislation. We created this toolkit ([link removed]) that compiles all the resources you'll need to raise your voice. Find your members' contact information, a sample phone script, emails, and more!

Thursday30 ([link removed]) - Make sure to head to twitter with other advocates next week (9/23) from 12:00-12:30PM ET to #UniteForHealthCare and dial up the pressure on Congress to center health in the upcoming package!
