[1]NNU - Medicare for All!



On Tuesday, Medicare for All champion, Rep. Andy Levin, lost his primary
in Michigan’s new 11th District. 

Andy is one of the candidates we supported in our new Nurses for Democracy
campaign we launched this year to build power and fight back against the
far right in the lead up to the midterms and beyond. 

While this isn't the outcome we hoped for, we’re so proud of all the work
our Nurses for Democracy volunteers did to support Andy’s campaign.
Together our volunteers sent 205,000 texts and made over 3,000 phone
calls. 

But unfortunately, this race was not an even playing field. One single
super PAC spent more than $4.2 million to help Andy’s opponent prevail. 

This race represents much of what we’re seeing across the board this
election cycle. Dark money – predominantly from wealthy rightwing and
corporate donors – is pouring into elections, and it’s one of the main
reasons why we launched Nurses for Democracy. We need massive grassroots
power to counter big money interests that are poisoning our democracy.

for All champion, Rep. Jamaal Bowman, and are looking for volunteers to
help us reach out to voters in New York’s 16th congressional district.

Throughout this election cycle, a massive super PAC called “United
Democracy Project,” created by AIPAC, which opposes any criticism of
Israeli policies, has poured money into multiple attacks on progressive
Democrats.  AIPAC says they support “mainstream” Democrats, yet they have
endorsed 37 Republicans who voted against certifying President Biden’s
victory after the Jan. 6 insurrection.

It’s up to all of us to counter these dark money attempts to spread
misinformation and buy off our elections. One of the best ways we can do
that is by organizing and talking to voters one-on-one about the candidate
and Medicare for All. 

[ [link removed] ]Sign up here to join our next round of texting and phone banks to
support the reelection of progressive champion, Jamaal Bowman. 

Jamaal has been a fighter for working people since he was elected to
Congress in 2020, and he’s a key progressive leader in the House
championing Medicare for All and legislation that will bring about
transformative change in this country.

Jamaal is facing an extremely well-funded challenger supported by
corporate PACs and the same establishment that he defeated in his first
election. 

His background as an educator and a community leader in New York makes him
one of the most compassionate, fierce advocates for health care for all. 

Please join us in helping send Jamaal back to Congress this November. 

With determination, 

Jasmine Ruddy
Organizer
Nurses’ Campaign to Win Medicare for All
