Webinar on grassroots lobbying for Medicare for All

Start: 2019-02-02 14:00:00 UTC Eastern Time (US & Canada) (GMT-05:00)

This is a virtual event

One week from now Medicare for All legislation will be introduced to the House of Representatives, and activists across the country will coordinate a grassroots uprising to bring a majority of Representatives on board the bill. This webinar, hosted by Healthcare-NOW and Progressive Democrats of America, will provide a step-by-step guide to running your own grassroots lobbying campaign to move your legislator on single-payer healthcare. If you are part of organizing a barnstorm during the February 9-13 week of action, your barnstorm will help you scale up your capacity, and provide a perfect launching pad for developing a strategic campaign.

We'll address strategies and challenges if you are trying to get your Rep on board as a co-sponsor for the first time, or if your Rep is already a co-sponsor and you'd like them to take on greater leadership roles. We'll provide options if you are a small group of activists or a large coalition of unions and organizations. We'll discuss short-term campaigns to win now as well as longer, multi-year campaigns and how to decide which type of strategy is more appropriate for you.

The webinar will start with a short training providing you with all the information and materials you need to run a strategic campaign. That will be followed by brief case studies, and plenty of time for questions and answers.
