Time is of the essence.
Senator Bernie Sanders just announced his plans to re-introduce Medicare for All legislation in the Senate, which means the clock is ticking to get your Democratic senator(s) signed on to the bill.
The good news is that so many people signed up to join your state’s Senate Organizing Committee – but now they need your help to put as much pressure on your senator(s) as possible.
After you sign, your name will be included in the delivery of this petition to their offices. The more signatures we have from constituents across Pennsylvania, the stronger our pressure will be.
This petition is just one small step in a larger organizing plan. We invited all of you to join the Senate Organizing Committee for your state – and we already hosted two orientation calls to talk about the goals and next steps for the program! Take a look:
Dozens of states were represented on the calls with more growing everyday. Already, we have 28 committees up and running in every state with at least one Democratic senator with the goal of organizing statewide to get them to sign on as a cosponsor before the bill is introduced.
The introduction of this bill in 2019 was a powerful moment that signaled growing and widespread support for Medicare for All. You may remember that five senators running for president cosponsored the bill – Sens. Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders.
We must start mobilizing now so we can exceed the number of cosponsors from 2019 and let our senators see the widespread support for Medicare for All across the country.
Thank you so much for adding your name, and we’ll be in touch with more ways to take action soon.
