Hi neighbors!

I know that unaffordable healthcare costs and lack of access to healthcare is a huge issue for folks in our community, and thought you would be interested in this upcoming event. On Friday, October 2nd, the Vermont Workers Center is hosting a Picnic and Picket as Part of a National Medicaid March Week of Action organized by the Nonviolent Medicaid Army to denounce the government's failed response to COVID-19 and highlight poor people's leadership in the fight for universal healthcare.

Here in Vermont we're calling on Governor Scott to:
*Protect Medicaid* by cutting the state's contract with OneCare, a for-profit company siphoning off millions in Medicaid funding that should be spent on people's healthcare
*Expand Medicaid* to everyone in Vermont, regardless of income or immigration status.

We hope to see you there!

Picket & Picnic for Medicaid!
Friday, Oct. 2nd, 2020 in Burlington
Meet at 4pm at 462 Shelburne Road near Shaws / Walgreens (UVM Medical Center / OneCare executive offices).
