James Talarico is running in one of the most closely watched U.S. Senate races in the country, and health care is central to his platform. Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 28, Talarico experienced firsthand the cost of insulin price gouging. He is pushing for a Medicare option for every age, lower drug prices, and reversing the cuts pushing people out of health care coverage.
Heather Booth is one of the country's leading strategists about progressive issue campaigns and driving issues in elections. She started organizing in the civil rights and women's movements of the 1960s. She started JANE, an underground abortion service in 1965, before Roe. There is an HBO documentary about this called The JANES and a film about her life called Heather Booth: Changing the World. She is now the National Outreach and Partnerships Director for Battleground Alliance, building organization in about 40 marginal congressional districts to take back Congress.
At this virtual Town Hall, health care professionals will hear directly from Talarico about his health care platform and share what you see every day in your work.
It's also a chance to learn how nurses, doctors, and other health care workers can support and influence candidates to make health care a policy priority. Health care professionals are the most trusted voices on health care. At this pivotal moment, your voice matters more than ever.
