Tomorrow, there will be rallies all over the country. Moveon.org has teamed up with allies like AFL-CIO, SEIU, AFSCME, HCAN, OFA, and others in cities and towns all over the country with the theme:
Big Insurance: Sick of It
From Moveon.org:
Nationwide Rallies
'Big Insurance: Sick of It' Rally
We're organizing Big Insurance: Sick Of It rallies in front of health insurance company offices across the country.
Insurance companies make hundreds of billions of dollars every year from denying coverage and denying care, no matter how many people suffer as a result. We'll hear stories of people who have suffered from our broken health insurance system, and we'll demand that the companies stop trying to kill the public health insurance option.
Below the fold I've listed some of the events in major cities. There are other rallies in towns across the country too so use this link to find a rally near you!
The rallies are at various times of day, just after work, lunchtime, etc. Most are rallies near buildings of major health insurance companies. I've been looking at the events on Moveon.org and the numbers of attendees are growing.
Here are some of the major rallies in cities across the country. This is not the complete list, so be sure to use this link to find a rally near you!
