Tell CVS we won’t stand for this.

CVS made a $5 million donation to fight against Medicare for All. Will you call right now to let them know we’re watching and will hold them accountable? Today’s the day of the annual CVS Health shareholders meeting, which means it’s an opportune time to contact their top leaders and demand a…

Last chance to RSVP for tomorrow’s event

Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, hospital employers and our elected officials have continued to choose and prioritize profits over nurse and patient safety. Their greed has directly resulted in the deaths of more than 400 registered nurses and thousands of other health care workers, in addi…

CVS quietly made a massive donation to a dark money group fighting Medicare for All.

We need to hold CVS accountable and spread the word far and wide about their efforts to undermine Medicare for All. In a year marked by a pandemic that has killed millions, CVS Health quietly made a $5 million donation to the number one dark-money lobbying group fighting Medicare for All.1 T…

Passing Medicare for All is another step in the broader fight for racial justice. Yesterday, we welcomed the conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the brutal murder of George Floyd.  We know this was just one case; there are so many more where there was no accounta…

Our message to any politician who accepts $ from pharma and insurance lobbyists

It’s past time for our politicians and political candidates to reject campaign contributions from pharma and insurance lobbyists. For decades, corporate-lobbying groups have tried to stop healthcare reform and buy off our politicians with millions of dollars in campaign contributions and lobb…
