Last night, we hosted our latest Medicare for All National Strategy Call, where we shared our plans for the next few months to continue to build a mass movement in our communities, in our hospitals, and in the streets, conversation by conversation — until we’ve finally secured health care as a right for all people.
Zenei Triunfo-Cortez, RN and President, National Nurses United, speaking on our call about how far our movement has come and how the nurses are staying committed to this fight for the long haul.
If there’s one major takeaway from the strategy call you need to know, it’s this: We’ll need everyone’s help — including yours — as we launch into the next phase of our organizing to win Medicare for All.
Here’s how you can jump in right now:
- Our hope is that a Medicare for All bill will be introduced in the Senate in the next few months, which means we need to start preparing now. If you’re represented by a Democratic U.S. Senator and are ready to step up and take a leadership role to prepare for the Medicare for All bill please sign up to join the Senate Organizing Committee for your state!
- If you or anyone you know is a fluent Spanish speaker, please join our Medicare para Todos texting or call teams!
- Join one of our quarterly Medicare for All and Communities of Color webinars! If you know Spanish-speakers who are interested in learning more about Medicare for All, we also hold regular webinars in Spanish. RSVP for a Medicare para Todos y Nuestras Comunidades webinar here. And if you are part of an organization that works directly with communities of color and would like our staff to present one of the above presentations, please reach out to us via this form.
- Please enter our CVS Art Contest! The deadline to submit your work is Friday, April 1st. Share this submission form with all the artists you know also! And if you aren’t an artist yourself, be on the lookout for actions we’ll be taking in April and May utilizing the art and gearing up to get CVS’s attention as we get closer to their May shareholders meeting and our big day of action!
- Finally, save the date for our virtual Medicare for All Fest on Saturday, April 23rd, where we’ll have music, art, speakers, and more. This will be an opportunity to hear about the progress of our pressure campaigns and get further involved. Fill out this form to express your interest in attending, and we’ll be sure to send you more information when we get closer.
Thank you so much for stepping up — we’re excited to get to work, grow our movement, and win Medicare for All!
In solidarity,
