Healthcare Highlight: Elizabeth Crocker delivered an important presentation on the current state of the healthcare battle.

Key elements:

  • The ACA is an imperfect bill that needs to be FIXED, NOT sabotaged
  • State of Play: Collins and Paul are opposing the bill for different reasons
  • Only 462 days to go until 2018 MIDTERMS
  • With your calls/open letters: push for REVISION, NOT REPEAL that causes market destabilization
  • Get the latest updates on ALL Healthcare Reform issues from:

Going Back and Connecting With Grassroots Activism with Carol Moore

  • 6,000 Indivisible groups nationwide now!

What a way to kick off the year we’ve all been waiting for! Last night, more than 120 Americans living in the UK showed up to request their ballots and commit to getting out the expat vote in 2020. What an inspiration it was to be surrounded by so many fellow Americans who are determined to make a difference. And what a privilege it was to work with the @daukwomenscaucus, @demsabroaduk and @votefromabroad to make this happen! 💪🇺🇸🗳 #votefromabroad #democratsabroad #rockthevote2020 . . . . . . . #democrats #vote #elections2020 #dumptrump #democracyinaction #wecandoit
Grab a pen, grab a pie and make a difference as we gather for our first Postcards & Pizza social of 2020! Last year, we sent hundreds of postcards last year to help Dems take control of the state legislature in Virginia, which is poised to become the 38th state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). Now, our fight to sign the ERA into law continues as we call on Congress to extend the deadline for passing it. Postcards and pens will be provided, so just come prepared to write, eat and have fun! RSVP link in bio. 🇺🇸
Join us and learn how to help people register to vote! January 15th we will discuss the impact of the expat vote and what DAUK is doing to ensure US voters living abroad can have their say in the 2020 elections. Volunteer to make a difference! RSVP link in bio. 🇺🇸#daukwomenscaucus #democratsabroad
