| We have made it clear: We’re done with a health care system that prioritizes profits over people. Voters delivered a sweeping rebuke to the status quo that has us choosing between paying rent and picking up prescriptions. From Michigan to Maine, up and down the ballot, in red states and blue, in districts no one thought we could win, candidates who ran on taking the profit motive out of health insurance came out ahead. It’s time to talk about how to turn this victory into action. Join on November 17 at 8 p.m. Eastern: Get the details on the plan to win Medicare for All. [R.S.V.P.] The Medicare for All National Coalition — including People’s Action Institute, Healthcare-NOW, National Nurses United, Physicians for a National Health Program, Popular Democracy, and Progressive Democrats of America — will come together to break down what this election means for our movement and map the strategy to turn a health care election into a health care transformation. They’ll talk about: What this new Congress means for Medicare for All, and how we hold our new champions accountable to the promise they ran on; How we grow the movement by the thousands, in every state and every district, including places where this fight is just beginning; and What you can do right now to build the power it takes to win. We’ve waited too long for a health care system that puts people over profits. The people have voted — from Lansing to Lewiston to Charleston. Now we organize. [Join the call on November 17] |
| Tell Trump: Fire Stephen Miller Americans came out and voted decisively against cruelty, corruption, and chaos. Trump’s response? To double down by promoting white supremacist wannabe supervillain Stephen Miller. He has made the architect of the mass deportation machine that has torn families apart across the country his new White House chief of staff. This is an unacceptable response to the American people’s demands for change. Add your name: Call for Stephen Miller to be fired immediately. |
| Spread the word: Voters reject anti-homeless laws New exit polls show 85% of voters want elected officials to address homelessness with housing and supportive services, not arrests and fines. This includes 94% of Democrats and 74% of Republicans, demonstrating a broad, bipartisan consensus. Voters are sick and tired of politicians who are more interested in making it a crime to be homeless than they are in making rent cheaper. Now, newly elected officials have a mandate to take bold, meaningful action to ensure everyone has the housing and support they need to thrive. Make sure everyone knows about this new housing mandate – spread the word on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter today. |
