Rally to Demand a Hearing for Universal Healthcare

Start: Tuesday, February 19, 201911:00 AM

Senator Annette Cleveland has refused to let Senate Bill 5222, the bill that would create a universal healthcare system for Washington, out of committee. With 522,000 Washington residents lacking healthcare coverage, this is unacceptable.

Join us to let her know, we want REAL universal healthcare, not more studies or promises or half measures. We’re demanding a public hearing for SB 5222.

  • When: Tuesday, Feb 19th at 11 am.
  • Where: The Capitol Steps, 416 Sid Snyder Ave SW, Olympia, WA 98504

Wear your red berets, bring signs and any medical related bills you have. We will be delivering the bills to our legislators after the rally!
