In solidarity,  Mike Hersh for Alan, Shayna, Deb, Kimberly, Bryan, Mike F., Dr. Bill, Dan, and Janis—your PDA national team.

TONIGHT! Healthcare Not Warfare Call With Code Pink

Healthcare Not Warfare is not just a slogan. Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) launched our Healthcare Not Warfare (HNW) campaign about a decade ago because we understood that even though Medicare For All (MFA) will actually save money, runaway spending on weapons and war would always undermine our efforts to achieve progress. Therefore, our HNW framing asserts the essential interconnections between federal budget policies and our national priorities.

This coming Thursday is Independence Day, and our allies Code Pink have big plans! Call in tonight to hear about them. Then, stay on to hear about PDA’s upcoming plans including how to get involved with the national MFA coalition’s August People’s Assemblies to pressure Congress to pass the Medicare For All Act.

Complete care, including, mental, dental, vision, prescriptions, medical devices, preventative, women’s health, long-term care, and more that will save 10,000s of U.S. lives and 100s of $billions each year.
