Healthcare-NOW and allies sat in to demand that single payer be put on the table; 8 were arrested during the Obamacare hearings for daring to ask for healthcare justice. After years of being shut out of healthcare reform, *our legislation will finally get hearings this year* in several committees! *Join us at a barnstorm* during the national Week of Action - *Feb. 9th-13th* - and let's get started on the next phase of our strategy to win Medicare for All: making sure the new Democratic House is going to fight for single payer! ATTEND A BARNSTORM At the barnstorm you’ll gather with volunteers near you, talk about the plan to win, and *begin organizing to knock doors, make phone calls, and more* in your community. *Hundreds of events *are being held across the country during this week of action (more to appear on the map shortly) - click below to find a barnstorm near you! [image: alt_text] At our local barnstorms in Massachusetts, we'll be organizing specifically around getting* Reps. Joe Kennedy, Richard Neal, and Stephen Lynch* on the House single payer bill. To find out what kind of organizing is going on in your area, please attend a barnstorm! FIND A BARNSTORM Getting these hearings was only possible through sustained organizing in 2018. But we still have work to do: please join us for the next stage of winning Medicare for All!
