Phone bank for healthcare

Right now, millions of families’ health care is on the line. The “Big, Ugly Bill” that Republican leaders passed earlier this summer slashed Medicaid and threatened affordable coverage for working people¹—but there’s still hope.

Senate Democrats have introduced the Protecting Healthcare and Lowering Costs Act, which would reverse the worst parts of that bill, safeguard Medicaid, and permanently extend Affordable Care Act subsidies that help keep premiums affordable.²

We need to pressure the Republican majority in Congress to support this legislation, and it starts in the Senate! Lawmakers care especially about how their constituents see them. And that’s exactly why we’re hosting a phone bank to connect volunteers (like you!) to other MoveOn members with Republican senators. We will connect them directly with their senator’s district office to pressure them to repeal Medicaid cuts.

Will you sign up for next week’s phone bank on Monday, August 25, at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT to make calls to connect voters with their senators?

You don’t need to be an expert—we’ll give you a script, training, and full support every step of the way. All you need is your phone or a computer, and just a little bit of your time.

Families across the country are counting on us to fight back against cuts that put health care out of reach. Together, we can hold Republican senators accountable for the harm, and pressure them to take back one of the worst parts of the Big, Ugly Bill.

RSVP for next week’s phone bank on Monday, August 25, at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT.

Thanks for all you do.
