some hot tea to sip on this morning currentaffairs.org/2019/03/all-ab…

the floor is medicare for all

The American health care system is rife with inequities that have no place in the richest, most powerful nation on earth. Today I am proud to add my name to the new #MedicareForAll bill being introduced by @RepJayapal because I believe it is a strong roadmap for our path forward.

Today, we are powerful. There are only a few hours left to get out the vote. Go #vote for progressive candidates who will fight for equity & justice. Vote for activist leaders who will work in and with community. Vote, because this is your democracy & your voice matters.

This is the start of a movement. Thank you all.
