Join Right to Health Action at our upcoming event where we will train activists across the nation in "birddogging" tactics!

We are hitting the campaign trail this year in at least 24 states where we meet candidates on our own turf and put them on the spot with our powerful stories and demands. We will publicly hold those responsible accountable for neglecting our public health systems and failing to stop tragedies like COVID-19 and pandemics of the future. Bird-dogging is a powerful strategy used by grassroots activists to get candidates and elected officials on the record about important issues!

We want you to join us!

Attend our first Birddogging 101 training and you'll learn how to find campaign events to attend, how to ask powerful questions, gain confidence, and be supported by our experienced team of activists to get into action.

Our government leaders are not serving our needs. During campaign season, it’s easy to get to them at their town hall meetings, debates and meet-and-greets, and even low-dollar fundraisers. Meeting candidates and putting them on the hook out on the campaign trail is a way to level the playing field and force them to speak candidly on issues of health justice, choice, poverty, climate and all the issues we care about. Birddogging is an incredibly effective (and exhilarating!) action–and it’s how activists have won enormous victories in the past.

Whether you’re an experienced or new birddogger, we invite you to join us and learn about how you can stir up some good trouble with us. We hope to see you there..
