Healthcare Emergency Update: Town Hall Sun. RSVP Now!

Feb 12, 2021

In solidarity,

Dr. Bill Honigman for the PDA National Team

Join Our Healthcare Emergency Town Hall
Sunday, 4pm ET/1pm PT

At Progressive Democrats of America (PDA), our advocates for Healthcare as a Human Right, remain gravely concerned that #COVID19 continues to ravage our traditionally medically underserved communities with untold suffering, loss, and preventable deaths as a result. Vaccine, like all of COVID-care and Healthcare in general, is not yet getting to all who need it, especially to those at even greater risk in our communities of color.

Studies recently made public confirm these inequities, including that as many as 40 percent of total COVID-19 fatalities in the U.S. were preventable if we had public health directed by and paid for with a #SinglePayer expanded and improved #MedicareForAll system.

It’s past time we did.

And it’s past time we all join in the effort with PDA and our coalition partners by volunteering here, donating here, and by showing up and speaking up at our next town all.

PDA Healthcare Emergency Town Hall
Sunday, February 14
4pm Eastern; 3pm Central; 2pm Mountain; 1pm Pacific; 12pm AK; 11am HI.
If you have not already done so, register here.

Featured guest speakers: Healthcare researcher Dr. Carolina Ampudia, M.D. of PDA Broward Co FL, and communications expert and local community leader Dr. Betty Valencia, Ph.D. of PDA Orange Co CA.  They’ll discuss the urgent need for and means to organize for MFA from their very knowledgeable perspectives.

Thanks so much for anything you can do.

Hope to see you Sunday!
