As Congress considers the future of our health care system this month, it is important that our representatives in Washington know that we support their efforts to reform a broken system that has left 46 million Americans without health insurance. There are currently 470,000 Nevadans living without health insurance.
That’s why millions of people across America, including many in Nevada, will join Organizing for America for a Health Care Week of Action next week. OFA is back in action and the same people who worked so hard to elect Pres. Barack Obama are now working just as hard to support the policies he stood for during the campaign.
Southern Nevada:
Join OFA and the Nevada State Democratic Party for a Health Care Week of Action kickoff event at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 18 at the Atomic Testing Museum, 755 E Flamingo Rd., Las Vegas, NV 89119. State Senator Steven Horsford, volunteers and real people struggling with the broken system will support health care reform with one voice.
OFA and NSDP will also sponsor a phone bank and canvass from the museum on Saturday to raise awareness about health care reform and ask Nevadans to sign Health Care Declarations in support of Pres. Obama’s plans to make quality, affordable health care accessible to all Americans. Click here to sign your own declaration. Please bring a cell phone to phone bank.
Also, please bring donations of nonperishable food items to the museum to benefit the Three Square food bank and bottled water to be donated to U.S. Vets, an organization that provides housing, counseling and job assistance to thousands of homeless veterans each year.
Join us after the phone bank and canvass for a free barbecue. Please RSVP by clicking here. Participants that canvass, phone bank or donate food will receive free admission to the museum.
