In May and June, HCAN PA has ramped up its efforts. We are holding four to five health care events every week.
The picture, which links to a short video, is from a Health Care Rally in Pittsburgh on May 28 which came a day after we did a Health Care Town Hall in Erie and two days after an event in Montgomery County. (Our rally was held at Mellon Square underneath Senator Specter’s office, to which I was pointing.)
Since our Pittsburgh event, we have had multiple town halls, house parties, meet-ups in Montgomery County, Delaware County, Bucks County, Erie, Philadelphia, Lehigh County, Luzerne County and other places throughout the Commonwealth.
At each event, big and small, we find healhcare activists who then take on the task of recruiting other people to join this movement. And, at critical points in the fight for health care reform we have brought those activists into the fight, particularly to call or email Senators Specter or Casey or their members of Congress. And that’s one reason the Pennsylvania delegation in Congress has been one of the most strongly supportive of health care reform.
You can join our effort. First, tell a friend about the campaign and ask them to join it. Second, call (215 880-6142) or email (marcstier@hcanpa.org) us to volunteer to help us arrange a meeting, house party or other event in your neighborhood.
