John,

One-third of the average Social Security check is eaten up by health care costs―especially prescription drugs. Efforts to keep drug prices high are effectively efforts to cut Social Security. That’s why we’re fighting so hard to overrule the Bush-era prohibition on Medicare negotiating lower prescription drug prices.

We’re sharing some highlights from this week, but we’ve got to keep pushing to expand Medicare and lower prescription drug prices! Donate $7 today!

In Long Island, NY, our billboard truck landed outside Rep. Kathleen Rice’s office, and was met with dozens of her constituents who were outraged by her vote to block Medicare from lowering drug prices:

	Constituents of @RepKathleenRice are holding a rally outside her office to demand that she support lowering drug prices in #BuildBackBetter. We sent our mobile billboard to join them! Watch live:

And in DC this week, we supported a protest outside the headquarters of PhRMA, the lobbying arm of the drug corporations, which was joined by a very special guest:

	"We can not allow the drug companies to continue to charge us any price that they want. Enough is enough!" - @SenSanders

Whether it’s in their districts or in DC, the pressure is on corporate Democrats who are standing in the way of President Biden’s promise to lower prescription drug prices! Donate $7 today to keep our billboard trucks on the road!

Thanks,

Alex Lawson
