Health Advocates,
 

After a heated week of debate in Congress, it's clear that our fight for lower health costs and improved health equity is far from over. While there is still plenty to be worked out in the coming weeks, we must continue to band together to ensure Congress goes big and bold on health care. Check out the resources below to see how Families USA can support your advocacy. 
 

Upcoming Actions 

• Thursday30 - Make sure to head to twitter with other advocates next week (10/7) from 12:00-12:30PM ET to #UniteForHealthCare and dial up the pressure on Congress to center health in the upcoming package! Find sample social posts in this toolkit, which we update and add to weekly.
