If you’ve been following along with us anytime over the past year, you’ve probably heard about our Patients Over Profits campaign. It’s our campaign calling on state and local candidates and elected officials to pledge to reject campaign donations from the corporate health care industry.

Last year, we secured 70 signers on the Patients Over Profits Pledge. We are renewing our focus on the pledge this year, and our goal now is to reach 100 total signers by International Workers’ Day, also known as May Day (May 1).

If you’re ready to get involved, sign up here to join the Patients Over Profits campaign. We’ll give you all the information you need on how to get started.

In addition to our organizing across the country, this year we’ll be adding a special focus to organizing in the South. These key states in the South include: North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Alabama, and Tennessee.

We believe the South is ripe for organizing. The South has some of the lowest health outcomes and highest rates of uninsurance in the country, has historically low union density, and notably, is where many corporate health care giants are based. We need to work to ensure that candidates and elected officials in these states are willing to fight for the health of the people who live there.

If you live in North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Alabama, or Tennessee, we especially want to work with you this year. But even if you don’t, we are going to need supporters in every corner of the country to help build the power of the Patients Over Profits Pledge.

As a volunteer, you’ll help us reach out to elected officials and candidates to ask them to take the pledge — we’ll give you all the materials and support you’ll need. Want to help us get elected officials on the pledge? Sign up here to join the Patients Over Profits team.
