The holidays are here, and while they certainly look a lot different this
year, one thing is for sure. 

Whether on Zoom or in person, the dinner table is bound to get political
– and with the upcoming midterm elections in 2022, that’s a good
thing. 

Together, we can use this holiday season to organize friends and family
around the issues that matter to us. To help you out: we built a tool to
practice and learn the best ways to talk to friends and relatives about
Medicare for All through the lens of Covid-19.

scenarios — and hone your persuasion skills! You’ll be an expert in
diplomatic dinner-table or Zoom discussions in no time.

The challenges of the last two years have made the case for Medicare for
All stronger than ever before. We must take this opportunity to have
conversations with our friends and family about how we can fight together
for a health care system that truly guarantees health care to all.

During the early months of the pandemic, an estimated 27 million people
lost their employer-sponsored health insurance when they needed it most –
joining the 29 million who were already uninsured. At the same time,
Covid-19’s disproportionate impact on people of color reignited
conversations about racial disparities in our current profit-driven health
care system. 

In our organizing for Medicare for All, we know that when we approach
these conversations by sharing stories with empathy and understanding —
rather than trying to “win” the argument — we can actually win people over
much more easily. 

This tactic works. It’s called the Response Cycle, and now YOU can use it
this holiday season and finally convince those Aunts, Uncles, cousins, and
neighbors that Medicare for All is the best and only fix for our broken
health care system.

[ [link removed] ]Go through a practice discussion about Medicare for All today! The
program will teach you how to react to a variety of responses and prepare
you for whatever the conversation throws your way.

Together we can have the discussions necessary to mobilize vast public
support for Medicare for All before the midterm elections and beyond. 

Wishing you luck and happy Thanksgiving from all of us to you and yours. 

– Jasmine Ruddy and the entire NNU Medicare for All team
