This is a short sweet action diary for anyone in Central Ohio who wants to rally for reform. This rally is currently being pulled together by a small dedicated group of progressives, we are currently talking to Organizing For America, Workers United, and UHCAN to build a Progressive Coalition for this rally.
Rally Details:
When: September 7th at 4:00pm
Where: We will be meeting at Goodale Park and Marching to the Ohio State University Medical Center.
Google Map
What: We will be rallying at the park marching to OSU Medical Center and sharing stories, hearing testimonials, and generally supporting the idea of health reform
Why: This is NOT a protest, it is a pro-reform rally intended to show support for reform, and especially the public option.
How: Show up, with a fun sign supporting reform and the public option, then join your progressive brothers and sisters as we make our voice heard.
Itinerary:
4:00-4:15pm Assemble at Goodale Park, marching orders and instructions will be given.
4:15-4:45pm Walk to OSU Medical Center
4:45-6:00pm General Rally, speeches, and stories
At this point we will disperse, it has yet to be decided if there will be a vigil at the park although that is a distinct possibility.
We have spoken with city officials and are getting all the necessary permits and notifications for this march.
We need to make our voices heard, we can not let this discourse be dominated by the deathers any longer.
PS. There is a rally whose details are TBA on September 1st in Central Ohio as well, I will diary about that one as more details surface.
