COVID-19 is shining a spotlight on the cruelty of the U.S. healthcare system — a system designed to maximize profit, not patients’ well-being. Millions of working-class people have lost their jobs and their health insurance in the pandemic-driven recession. Meanwhile, in California alone, 165 billionaires have seen their wealth increase by $175,000,000,000 since March 2020.

In the wealthiest state in the wealthiest country in the world, this is unacceptable. We must make healthcare a human right for all our residents. We must pass Assembly Bill 1400, the California Guaranteed Health Care for All Act, also known as “CalCare.”

To win “CalCare,” we need a working-class movement to apply pressure on Democratic lawmakers into supporting Assembly Bill 1400. Our first target: California State Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan of Assembly District 16, one of California’s most wealthy State Assembly districts.

Join us on Saturday, March 13, from 12 to 3 pm for our first in-person, no-contact, socially-distant Day of Action, at Orinda Community Center Park at 26 Orinda Way, Orinda, CA 94563.

We will begin our Day of Action with a rally from those fighting for healthcare justice, creating a movement to win California Medicare for All, and pass AB 1400 - “CalCare.” Then, we will go throughout Orinda to hang door hangers to send a message to Assemblymember Bauer-Kahan that her constituents support a California Medicare for All system.

Join us in our movement to win California Medicare for All today.
