UNITED, WE WALK FOR REFORM
2 PM Rally at Times Square, 42nd St. and 7th Avenue
Health reform is finally within grasp. Opponents are spending millions every day to destroy it. We cannot let this happen. We voted for change in '08 and we must see it through.
On Saturday, August 29, 2009, New Yorkers will walk from all parts of the city for the first ever United We Walk for Reform Rally in support of the historic health reform legislation before Congress.
It's our health care. It's our time. Save the date to make your voice heard.
MID-MORNING, ACROSS THE CITY: Grassroots groups will meet in front of hospitals and health clinics across the city to walk to rally at Times Square. Check out mybarackobama.com for meeting locations in the next week (or set up one of your own).
2 - 3:30 PM - UNITY RALLY: Rally for health care at Times Square, 42nd St. and 7th Avenue
Want to organize your own walk to the rally? It's easy:
1) List your "United, We Walk for Health Care Reform" event on mybarackobama.com and spread the word to your friends.
2) To calculate the time you'll need to get to Times Square, we recommend hopstop.com.
3) Have fun and bring banners, wear t-shirts and buttons. Be creative!
4) Remind people to use sidewalks and bring posterboard signs (nothing on sticks).
Thank you for being a leader for health care reform. This can't happen without you!

Upcoming Events
Sick in the System
Film Screening Party
Tuesday, August 11th, 7-10 PM
Irish Rogue, 356 W. 44th St (between 8th and 9th Ave.)
RSVP: http://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/healthcareorganizingevent/gpf3lv
Join us at the Irish Rogue to view this powerful documentary made by a group of New York grassroots volunteers!
We will also talk about how we will help cure our "sick" system!
The film features real life stories, which have been central to swaying Congress and is something President Obama's been asking for. It's the all volunteer work of a young director, Brooklynite Brian Umana, and his team of twelve, who have interviewed dozens of New Yorkers over the past few months. We're learning how important personal stories are to this movement, and that's why this particular volunteer effort is so important: to get these stories to legislators.

Health Care Bill This Friday?
Congress Committee to release health care bill this Friday?
Rumors are circulating that the Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions Committee (HELP) will release its bipartisan health care legislation this Friday. Will the legislation include the public option, a watered-down version of the public option, or no option at all?
Last week, Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, talked about creating a fallback public option that only would kick in several years down the road if insurance companies are not doing their part to bring down costs.
Can we count on an industry which has increased premiums more than 87% over six years? Highly unlikely.
For more on this topic, check out Tim Foley's great health care blog at Change.org. The public plan is in jeopardy. Please volunteer to lead a Public Option Postcard tabling event from May 30 to June 7th in your neighborhood.
*Media Coordinator Needed - Whatever time you can contribute is helpful. Please contact Naomi Rothwell, NYCforCHANGE Outreach Coordinator, if interested.
