On Monday, July 24, at 10 a.m. the La Crosse Board of Public Works will be talking about parking assessments (did you know there was a public hearing about this on July 10?) and the possibility of using city outlets for EV charging AND if you want to virtually join the nationwide March for Health Care for All, you could call Rep. Ron Kind to tell him to co-sponsor HR 676, a Medicare for All bill introduced earlier in this session AND you can attend the Live Your Feel Fundraising info meeting to benefit The Center LGBTQ Center (you MUST RSVP at the link) AND Bluffside Neighborhood Association holds its monthly meeting at 6 p.m. at the First Congregational Church (corner of Losey and Main).
First, an update on the MoveOn.org health care conference call held Sunday evening. After reports from activists who have engaged in sit ins and demonstrations, started and participated in actions at the state level, and those who have run for office, we heard an update about the upcoming week's schedule with respect to health care.
On Tuesday, Republicans will try to get enough votes via a motion to proceed to start voting on different versions of their "plans" from the BCRA (Better Care [sic] Reconciliation Act) which would through about 22 million people off of health care to the "Repeal and Run" version which would remove health care from up to 34 million. Whatever happens on Tuesday, Moveon and other organizations are getting ready to respond. Here are four things people can do:
+ For updates throughout the week, text CARE to 668366.
+ On Monday, Tuesday, and until a bill is either stopped or passed, call your senators (you can connect via Moveon's tool if you call 844-432-0883)
+ However it comes out, Moveon and other groups are asking people to set up a Lives On The Line National Day of Action on Saturday, July 29 (what can we do locally? More info about this at actionnetwork.org/event_campaigns/july-29-our-lives-on-the-line)
+ Moveon and others are facilitating the Neighborhood Listening Project to canvass door to door across the country. Training and materials supplied - sign up at the link.
