You Can Make A Difference
Lobby Day and rally for health-care reform

June 25 – Washington, D.C.

On June 25, thousands of union members will come to the nation’s capital to join in the largest health-care lobbying effort in history. Together with celebrities and congressional leaders, we will rally for real reform that will make a difference in the lives of all working people.

President Barack Obama says the United States should offer quality, affordable health care for all — including a new public health insurance option that would make private insurers reduce costs and improve benefits to compete. The plan would reduce premiums by at least 25 percent, more than the 10 percent Mayor Bloomberg is trying to force city employees to pay.

Right-wing ideologues and insurance industry front groups are already pumping millions of dollars into deceptive TV ads to smear the public alternative and sink real reform. We need to answer with our people power.

Who: You can make a difference on Thursday, June 25.
Where: National Mall, Washington, D.C.
When: Rally at 11:45 a.m., then visits with Congress members.
How: DC 37 buses will leave from the union from 6 to 7 a.m.
