Today at 4:00 PM on the National Mall in Washington DC, the March for Health and Science is taking place.

If you’re in the area, we’d be grateful if you joined to support healthcare workers and scientists during this unprecedented attack by the Republican Party.

We wanted to share something about our logo.

It is meant to evoke a protest sign. And there is a candle flame in the negative space.

We and so many others are working to keep that flame lit.

We are grateful to the very talented volunteer who designed it but wishes to remain anonymous.

To emphasize the importance of preserving Medicaid, we request that people in high-priority districts call and write their members of Congress who are in areas that have high Medicaid usage and whose reps have competitive seats. A handy list is below; the Capitol Switchboard is (202) 224-3121.
