Hey there,
I wanted to share some very promising news from one of our four priority districts!
Following the car caravan in Davis, California on Saturday, one of the largest local TV news networks in Sacramento dedicated an entire segment to our campaign – naming Rep. John Garamendi and our demand to get him to co-sponsor the Medicare for All Act of 2021.
This kind of news coverage is key to building the pressure on Rep. Garamendi. Can you help keep up the momentum and put more pressure on Rep. Garamendi by sharing this news clip so we can get even more eyes on it?
We know our pressure is working. A day before our car caravan and after we placed an ad in the local newspaper highlighting Garamendi’s record, Rep. Garamendi himself called the organizer of the car caravan on Friday directly from the House floor during a busy day of legislation Congress — a clear sign that our organizing is bringing the heat!
By hitting the streets, we were able to generate a wave of pressure that was amplified in the media and got the attention of the representative. This is exactly the kind of local pressure campaign that we know works. We just have to keep at it.
More national attention from across the country is vital to carrying our momentum across the finish line.
Grateful to you all,
Jasmine Ruddy
