While the news on voting rights was less than inspiring this past week, we continue the fight. Make sure you join our Progressive Town Hall Sunday on the next steps to victory. John Lewis never quit. Neither do we!

On the good news front, the California Single-Payer Healthcare bill got passed through committee, so we’re one step closer to the largest state in the Union guaranteeing healthcare for all its people! (We’ll also be discussing that topic on the Sunday Town Hall. Sign up below.)

Join us for any/all of the below this week!

• Organizing NOW for Texas Wins in March. We have some tremendous progressive candidates, including Jessica Cisneros running against FBI-targeted DINO Henry Cuellar in the TX-28 primary. We need everyone in the country to pile on to get  progressive wins in 2022 off to an early start. Organizing call Saturday, Jan. 22, 5pm ET, 4pm CT, 3pm MT, 2pm PT. RSVP here. Can’t make the call? Let us know if you’re up for making calls from home, canvassing in-state, or being part of a disciplined daily social media team.
• Progressive Virtual Town Hall Sunday: Single-Payer Wins in California, and Our Next Steps to Win Voting Rights. California Assembly Bill 1400, which sets in motion a single-payer universal health care system in California, has passed through both of its committees (with flying colors!) and is headed for a floor vote before the end of the month. We’ll hear an update from Michael Lighty and Dr. Bill Honigman and others on the front line to win! Then Mimi Kennedy, Alan Minsky, Andrea Miller, Ray McClendon, Mayor Jennifer Roberts, Kenny Bruno, Sara Nelson, James Fukuda, Christian Nunes, Danny Goldberg, Jan Goodman, Robert Wilson, Lori Pesante, Danny Sheehan, Rev. Rodney Sadler, John Brakey, Tatanka Bricca, Joel Segal, Harvey Wasserman and more are featured panelists as we discuss how we win the voting rights struggle! RSVP here.
