Yes, it’s me again. And I know it's late. But I have another huge update about next week’s House hearing, and it’s the best one yet.
We just got word that our pressure campaign WORKED: An NNU nurse will be officially invited to testify on behalf of Medicare for All.
This is indisputable proof of our grassroots power. Hundreds of you jumped on the phone and took to social media to pressure Rep. Eshoo, and it worked. Just imagine the type of pressure we could generate if we recruited even MORE advocates and activists into our movement?
Will you sign up to join one of our upcoming onboarding calls? Our organizing tactics are a proven way to win people over to our cause, and that makes us even more effective at pressuring members of Congress like Rep. Eshoo.
I’m so proud (and most importantly, grateful) of what we just achieved. Just a few days ago, it was assumed that witnesses supportive of Medicare for All would be barred from testifying. But now we have one of our very own nurses, NNU President Jean Ross, added to the witness list.
Like I said earlier — when we organize and fight together, we win. And all our work, day in and day out, revolves around talking to and recruiting new organizers into the fold.
The more organizers we have, the more powerful our movement becomes.
And the more powerful our movement becomes, the faster we can win Medicare for All.
We wouldn’t have advanced to this moment were it not for the work of people like you, taking action and demanding accountability from their elected officials. Let’s make sure we keep it up.
In solidarity,
