Health Care: Turn Around America in 2008
Speakers:
Traven - Organizing to Make Health Care a Human Right for All
Dr. Marvin Malek
"Turn Around America: Health Care" Video
Health Care and Labor 2008
Our Approach: Organize!
This is part of a national AFL-CIO campaign to win universal health care. The Vermont campaign will be coordinated with the Vermont Workers Center's Healthcare Is a Human Right Campaign which aims to change what is "politically possible" in the healthcare debate through grassroots organizing and a strategic re-framing of healthcare as a basic human right and the healthcare crisis as a human rights emergency. While our long-term goal is a universal, single-payer healthcare system, our focus in the immediate period is not on policy, but on educating, organizing and mobilizing the broad working class around the demand that healthcare is a human right.
Free and open to the public
