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!
  • Focus not limited to swing states, but swing DISTRICTS within red/blue states

Still stuck at home? Now is an excellent time to get a head start on encouraging people to request their ballots using votefromabroad.org. The DAUK phone banking campaign will initially target voters in Florida and Wisconsin, moving on to other swing states. On Saturday, 4 April, join our phone banking training from 3-4:30pm! Sign up at the link in bio. If you can't make that time or the training is full, please DM us and we will try to set up another training soon. The UK campaign will be live on CallHub at around 5:30pm on Saturday. Happy calling! 🇺🇸
Looking for ways to be an activist while stuck at home? Send a text to the Americans you know living overseas to make sure they have requested their ballots for 2020! Simply go to votefromabroad.org. It's easy to use, and there is an online help desk for questions. Contrary to many myths about overseas ballots, our votes must be counted. They have made a difference and will make an even bigger one this year, if we all vote. Thanks and keep voting! #daukwomenscaucus #democratsabroad 🇺🇸
Did you know that 15% more people participated in the 2020 #democratsabroad #GlobalPresidentialPrimary than in 2016? Thanks to our dedicated crew of volunteers who made this possible! Tell your friends how they can join our community of #expats now, so we can make 2020 a victory! 🇺🇸#daukwomenscaucus #democratsabroad #votefromabroad
No American should have to choose between voting and their health. We need to act now to ensure that every American has access to extended early in-person voting, no-excuse absentee #VoteByMail, and expanded voter registration options. I'm calling my Senators today at (202) 224-3121 to tell them to protect the #2020election by supporting the full appropriation of $2 billion for elections in the Senate COVID-19 relief bill. Can you call yours too? 🇺🇸#daukwomenscaucus #democratsabroad
