WASHINGTON D.C. – In response to the shooting and death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, People’s Action Institute Executive Director Sulma Arias issued the following statement:
“We are shocked by the news of the tragic killing of Brian Thompson. We offer our condolences to his loved ones. Law enforcement has not identified the shooter or their motivations. We know there is a crisis of gun violence in America. There is also a crisis of denials of care by private health insurance corporations including UnitedHealth. The People’s Action Care Over Cost campaign gives people a productive, nonviolent, democratic way to create change on this problem. Both of these crises must end. Our political leaders must act on both.”
