Yesterday, nurses and Medicare for All supporters gathered at one of CVS Health’s most iconic stores on the Las Vegas Strip to demand that they permanently and publicly cut ties with the Partnership for America’s Health Care Future, the largest anti-Medicare for All corporate front group in the country.
Led by Sandy Reding, RN, Vice President of National Nurses United, we rallied outside and then delivered more than 35,000 petition signatures and our letter addressed to CVS executives.
We need your help to amplify our demand and share what happened yesterday. Please watch and share our video from Las Vegas to tell CVS: Stop gambling with patients’ lives!
In our letter, we called on CVS Health to respond to our demand by Tuesday, October 4th. We hope that CVS executives will do the right thing and join nurses on the side of health care justice.
But if they don’t respond, we’ll be prepared to escalate. We’re calling for a National Day of Action at their store locations across the country on Saturday, October 15th, if CVS does not respond to our demand. Over 60 volunteer leaders have already stepped up to lead an action.
We have real leverage to push CVS to meet our demand. So far this year, we’ve shown up at their shareholder meeting, held days of actions with events at more than 400 CVS stores, collected over 35,000 petition signatures, and made hundreds of phone calls. And we turned up the heat even further with yesterday’s action in Vegas.
We have to make sure that CVS Health hears us loud and clear — will you watch and share our video of yesterday’s Las Vegas event? It’s on us to hold CVS Health accountable.
Thank you for taking action. We’ll be in touch with more information soon.
In solidarity,
Max Cotterill
