Every Tuesday since the Women’s March, we’ve been rallying in front of Senator Cornyn’s office, and meeting with the staffers in groups of 5.
If you’re in Houston, please join us on Tuesday, July 25 from 11:30-1 as we celebrate a half year and push for Medicare for All, not repeal. Meet on the sidewalk at 5300 Memorial and we’ll form into teams of 5 to meet with staffers. Please park in nearby shopping centers and on Reinicke or Asbury streets, NOT in the office garage.
Without your actions, and those of tens of thousands of others like us, we would no doubt be living in a very different world. Congressional republicans have admitted that our actions are holding them in check. That's something to celebrate!
Several other groups plan to join us — United We Dream, 350 Houston, Pantsuit Republic, Health Care for All Texas - and we're issuing a press release today. Please invite other groups you know and send the message that after a half year of resisting, we're just getting started!
Next Tuesday is also the anniversary of Medicare. What better day to demand Medicare for All?
Successful movements don't simply say no, they say what they want and respectfully and persistently demand action. That's the point of the petition here - https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/medicare-for-all-2?source=direct_link& It's a way for us to call for the type of healthcare we'd like to see--healthcare that protects us all and is affordable for all. Please sign on and fwd the link to your networks. We'll deliver the petitions to the Senator's office next Tuesday.
We are the ones we've been waiting for.
We can do this!
See you Tuesday!
