Right now in the US there are 50 million uninsured, 45 million under-insured...health crisis events is the leading cause of all personal bankruptcies...we must do something and do it quickly.
As a response, the MICAH Project of First United Methodist of Tacoma, Washington, America in Solidarity, Community Health Care and Health Care For All is sponsoring a rally and march this Saturday (May 30, 2009) to bring this issue to the awareness of our State and National Representatives. This is being held in conjunction with rallies and marches all across the US on the same day.
I am bringing this up because I want to people to check in their town or state where their rally will be held.
The Tacoma rally is at 621 Tacoma Avenue South Tacoma, Washington Refreshments are at 9AM and program with US Rep Adam Smith, State Reps. Larry Seaquist and Dawn Morell begins at 9:30 with a 10;15 March.
