Help us to secure Rep. Costa's support for healthcare reform at rally Tuesday, July 28

In conjunction with the Health Care for America Now! day of action, Volunteers For Change-Fresno and a number of other organizations are sponsoring a rally this Tuesday, outside the local office of Representative Jim Costa, intended to demand his support for President Obama's public health insurance initiative.

All Volunteers For Change-Fresno members, friends, family, neighbors and more are invited and encouraged to participate!

Scheduled 11 a.m. Tuesday, July 28, outside the Fresno offices of Representative Costa, 855 M Street, just a couple of blocks from the Fulton Mall in downtown Fresno, the rally will take place as the nation reaches a critical juncture in the debate for national healthcare reform and as California faces the prospect of devastating cuts to vital health and human services.

Respresentatives from our delegation will meet with staff in Rep. Costa's office to share our stories and to urge him to support access to quality, affordable healthcare for all during the coming votes in the U.S. House. Rally participants are invited to share their stories with the public, telling Rep. Costa that their constituents need healthcare reform now.

The rally will coincide with major demonstrations taking place across the country, in which tens of thousands of people will rally in support for access to quality, affordable healthcare for all.

To participate, simply be there before 11 a.m. this Tuesday, July 28. Bring quarters, as the available parking there is metered. And a pizza lunch will be served at the rally's conclusion. For more information, contact Nancy Griesser at (559) 325-1616 or nancyg@csufresno.edu.

Hope to see you there!
