Join Us in Minneapolis, MN!
You are invited to join hundreds of activists for a weekend of inspiration and strategy to win single-payer national healthcare! Attempts by Trump and the Republican Congress to undermine existing healthcare programs have awoken a sleeping giant, and the American people are deciding that they don’t want to fight just for the right to buy a lousy health insurance plan. Support for Medicare for All has reached unprecedented levels, and this year we plan to construct a national campaign to win Medicare for All that can move us from resistance to victory. Join us!
