March For Healthcare at the Annual MLK Parade in Baltimore
At a press conference in 1966, Martin Luther King stated:
"Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and inhumane."
We will be marching with other healthcare organizers in the Baltimore City Martin Luther King Day Parade under a banner that carries that powerful quote.
Sign up if you plan to celebrate part of the MLK holiday with fellow Medicare for All supporters by marching with us in Baltimore City's MLK parade on Jan. 15.
We'll meet at N. Eutaw Street near State Center at 11:45 a.m.
This is a great way to honor Dr. King, connect with other M4A advocates, let off steam about the failings of our privatized healthcare system, and have a great time.
