[1]NNU - Medicare for All!

[1]2022 Year in Review



Before we close the books on 2022, we’re looking back on our biggest
campaigns and all the incredible work we did together this year. 

We covered our [ [link removed] ]Medicare for All legislative efforts and our [ [link removed] ]CVS
campaign — and today, we’re looking back on what we achieved in the
Patients Over Profits campaign. 

Together, here’s just some of what we accomplished in 2022 to grow the
number of elected officials and candidates who have pledged to reject any
money from the corporate health care industry:

Over 70 candidates and elected officials from around the country have now
taken the pledge

In June, we relaunched the Patients Over Profits pledge on a strategy call
with over 500 people and set a goal of reaching 100 signers by the
November midterm election.

We didn’t quite hit our goal, but we’ve reached a total of 70 signers on
the pledge, which is huge! [ [link removed] ]You can see a full list of the current
signers here.

Mobilized and trained over 1,100 volunteers to participate in the Patients
Over Profits campaign

We had over 1,100 people sign up to volunteer on this campaign over the
last several months — and we want to send them a HUGE thank you! 

This fall, volunteers joined monthly organizing calls to share tips and
best practices with one another about what was working best in their
communities. We even recorded and shared video tutorials of the best
tactics. In October, we launched a special team with a few volunteers who
stepped up even further to help out.

In particular, we want to lift up and congratulate a few key volunteer
leaders that made the biggest contribution to this campaign:

* Ken in Arizona, who attended a candidate forum in his area and got 9
candidates to take the pledge in a single day!
* Greg in California, who also attended a candidate event and got a
number of candidates to take the pledge.
* David in Washington, who got a number of elected officials and
candidates in his area to take the pledge using email and Facebook
Messenger.
* Elisabeth in California, who creatively asked candidates during a Zoom
event to take the pledge and got a number of them to sign.
* Kimmy in Texas, who reached out to dozens of candidates and elected
officials on social media.

We laid the groundwork for big plans in 2023

We know that combatting corporate money in politics is key to passing
Medicare for All. For decades, corporate-lobbying groups have tried to
stop health care reform by buying off our politicians with millions of
dollars in campaign contributions and lobbying. 

But we can force our politicians and elected officials to choose a side by
signing the pledge to reject campaign contributions from the corporate
health care industry. 

We plan to make this a major focus of our organizing in 2023, so stay
tuned for lots more to come. 

Thank you for being part of this movement calling for health care
justice.
