Single Payer Healthcare
Why We Need Medicare for All
Join presenters Corinne Frugoni, MD and Patty Harvey via zoom for this informational session
March 12, 5:30- 6:30 PM
 The disproportionate effect of the current pandemic crisis on marginalized populations underscores more than ever the need for universal health care for all. This presentation will address how Covid-19 has exposed greater health disparities and inequities; what single payer means for all of us; and the various options being proposed by the Biden Administration. There will be time for Q&A followed by a review of a petition to urge Governor Newsom to request the Biden Administration to allow federal dollars used for health care in our state (Medicare, MediCal, Affordable Care Act, etc.) to fund a non-profit, Single Payer Healthcare Program for all residents in California. |

How much faith inspired climate action we are already doing in our Fellowship community? The information will help us learn from each other about new climate action ideas, and provide motivation for us to not only continue with the efforts we are already doing to reduce fossil fuel consumption, but also encourage us to see if we can do better.
Submissions are due by March 15.
COMPLETE YOUR SURVEY TODAY: https://huuf.org/events/climate-action-survey/

A Challenge from CAC to YOU YOU for Earth Month
Relative to climate actions, for Earth month in April, CAC challenges each member unit to add one new effort that you are not already doing to “reduce, reuse, recycle”. It doesn’t have to be big. It could be, for example, sending a greeting card unsigned so it can be recycled; reusing an envelope or making one from paper printed on one side; or cooking an entire meal in the same heated oven. Decide now on a new action that you can do to protect Earth for the month of April, and let us know on the survey what you are planning to do. We will tally responses and report back to you. |
