Mass-Care, February 4, 2010

Last week Mass-Care joined over 100 activists, unions, legislators, and community organizations at a spirited organizing meeting in downtown Boston to launch a Massachusetts Campaign for Health Care Justice. Given the faltering efforts at national health reform, the campaign will attempt to organize a renewed push for Medicare-for-All legislation particularly at the state level, while building a mobilization network capable of supporting workers, patients, and communities struggling to maintain access to health care. The web-site for the new campaign, which includes its mission statement, campaign proposal, calendar of meetings and events, and endorsement form for organizations who want to get involved, is here: http://masscare.org/massachusetts-campaign-for-health-care-justice

Pictures from the meeting may be viewed on the Picasa photo sharing site at: http://picasaweb.google.com/randwilson.aflcio/CampaignForHealthCareJusticeJan25StrategyMtg

Please email Mass-Care at info@masscare.org if you would like to get involved as an individual, or if you are connected to an organization that you think should be involved. We will need to build a real movement to advance health reform that works for Massachusetts residents, please help with whatever time and resources you are able to provide!
