Re: [IMCW-Engaged-Sangha] IMCW Engaged Sangha - Next potluck, Teach-ins

Hi Scott and Becky,

I'm interested in partnering! 

Becky, did you say that you knew someone who might be an expert in this area?

I remember being inspired by a short NPR newscast recently regarding statistics saying that 80% of persons on Medicaid are already working and that there are many reasons why the remaining 20% aren't working.

Lastly, they said that in general, cuts to Medicaid, increased "deep poverty".

I'm specifically interested in bringing to light the facts around what cuts to Medicaid would mean and that all voters are aware of the implications.  This issue could help turn the tide in mid-term elections.

I also truly believe that health care is a right and not a privilege.

Perhaps we can get together for coffee or other to discuss and divide and conquer??

I'm away Memorial Day weekend and from June 1 thru June 6.

Be well,

Harris

Hi Becky,

I haven't made much progress on the immigrant/refugee teach-in. While I haven't completely abandoned it, I'm not sure how I'm going to proceed. I'd be happy to work with you and whoever else wants to join in on the healthcare/medicaid teach-in. Maybe it will help motivate me on the immigrant/refugee teach-in.

Hi Everyone,

We had a wonderful get together at Nancy's last weekend.  A lot of interesting discussion and some delicious food!

I have offered to host the next potluck which will be Saturday, June 17, 5pm - 8pm.  I am in the Takoma DC neighborhood, a short walk from the Takoma station.  Please RSVP if you'd like to respond and I'll send out my address and contact info.

Regarding teach-ins, I had offered to organize one on healthcare/Medicaid. I've made modest progress so far.  I'm wondering if anyone would like to partner with me and help maintain some momentum? 

Becky
