It takes courage to go up against the status quo and fight for systemic change.
That’s why we want to extend our thanks on behalf of our entire movement to the 14 health care champions in the Senate (15 with author Sen. Bernie Sanders himself included!) who signed on last week to the Medicare for All bill.

The for-profit health care industry spends millions of dollars lobbying members of Congress and donating to their campaigns in an effort to keep our broken system as-is – profit-driven and immoral.
These senators are calling for a better future and standing with patients, nurses, and working families who deserve better. For that, we’re so grateful.
It’s not often that representatives hear positive feedback, and these messages can go a long way. They let the senators know that their actions are seen, supported, and that health care is a major issue for constituents.
Support for Medicare for All cannot end with cosponsoring legislation; after all, it will take a mass movement of millions of people demanding change to pass this transformative legislation.
However, the more positive feedback these senators hear, the harder they will work to lobby their colleagues, call for hearings, and publicly support the bill.
Please send your letter now, and we’ll be in touch with more ways you can support this bill soon.
In solidarity,
Alex Newell Taylor
