Single payer & Medicare For All advocates call on Governor Newsom to Keep The Promise with a rally in Los Angeles at 2:00 pm on July 31st, 2021 at 300 S. Spring Street in DTLA.
In California, and across the country, the devastation caused by COVID-19 exposed and exacerbated the inequities of our for-profit healthcare system, disproportionately impacting low-income people and communities of color. In the wake of the pandemic, it’s even more abundantly clear that the only way to protect everyone’s health is to make health care a human right. We’re proud to join with allies across the state on July 31 in calling on Governor Newsom to fulfill his pledge to build a single-payer healthcare system that guarantees every Californian an equal right to quality health care.
The Keep The Promise event has been endorsed by DSA-LA’s Healthcare Justice Committee, PNHP CA, Progressive Democrats of America-CA, NUHW, Pilipino Workers Center, Healthy California Now, UTLA, Progressive Asian Network for Action, Health Care for All – California, and others.
This event will take place on July 31st at 2:00pm at the California State Building at 300 S. Spring Street in Downtown Los Angeles. Attendees are encouraged to wear all black and to bring a token that represents someone that they have lost due to lack of adequate or affordable healthcare.
