Health Advocates,

As you likely know, Congress is still working to find a path forward for popular, common sense health care legislation. Priorities such as prescription drug pricing reform, lowering the cost of health care, and making investments in historically under-represented communities are all actions that Congress can and should take while we have the opportunity to do so. We must capitalize on this moment to ensure families across America have access to the best health care possible!

As we near the end of Black History Month, we also want to highlight the connection between racial justice and health care, and what we can do to ensure everyone has the opportunity to live their healthiest life, regardless of the color of their skin. Below, please find updated resources for your health advocacy, as well as a new blog post outlining the intersection of health and racial justice.
