Healthcare Equality Project Launch
3:00P.M – 4:30 P.M on Tuesday, March 24th
All Souls Unitarian Church
1500 Harvard St., NW., Washington, D.C. 20009
The Healthcare Equality Project (HEP) is a national partnership between nationwide and community-based organizations, faith networks, students, parents, and individuals working to achieve comprehensive healthcare reform that will eliminate healthcare disparities once and for all. We want to ensure that healthcare reform efforts—beyond simply expanding insurance coverage—become an engine for reducing the unfair, pervasive, and life-threatening healthcare disparities that plague women and racial, ethnic, and other minorities.
To achieve healthcare equality, we need to organize our communities so that our voices are heard by decision-makers in Washington, D.C. HEP’s primary goal is to bring together and harness the collective strength of national and local allies to implement a coordinated, multilayered, national grassroots advocacy campaign. This broad and diverse coalition will serve to inform and move members of Congress to pass comprehensive healthcare reform legislation that works for everyone.
On Tuesday, March 24, we will launch our national campaign with members of Congress, community members, health advocates, church leaders, physicians, healthcare workers, parents, and students to intensify the fight for healthcare equality in America. We will demand that decision-makers include concrete investment in eliminating healthcare disparities in any healthcare reform effort. This is an opportunity to eradicate a preventable injustice that has burdened our communities, shortened our lives, and made us sicker far too long.
Join us on March 24 to connect with the healthcare equality movement and:
- Hear from elected officials, national and local leaders, and members of the community that have been affected by healthcare inequality about what healthcare reform will mean to you and your family;
- Learn how you can educate yourself, your family and friends about healthcare equality, and get connected and activated in this movement;
- Meet other people and organizations that are also working toward eradicating healthcare inequalities; and
- Share your concerns about healthcare and make your voice heard.
