Today, we’re remembering #PearlHarbor and those who perished 77 years ago today and in the war that followed. Reflecting on the selflessness of the men and women who gave their lives for this nation in WWII and every day since. #thankyouforyourservice
Lori Brewer Collins was on WERA in Arlington, VA this week talking about her story, the founding of CtK, and the future of our democracy.
This week marked the inaugural convening of United States of Care. You can see all their panels and panelists discussing the path ahead for healthcare here. The conversations served as a reminder of three essential and perennial points:
Even the most intractable problems can be solved when we put aside our differences and work toward the common good.
The future of healthcare is inextricably tied to voting rights and voter turnout.
There is still time to sign up for healthcare coverage under the ACA! Go to healthcare.gov before December 15th and spread the word!
This week also brought the orientation of new members of Congress. With younger, social media savvy members now entering the chamber, we’re getting more of a look behind the scenes. Freshman Reps Dan Crenshaw (R) and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D) provided most of the play-by-plays. We’re optimistic that their work will help to engage more people—especially the next generation of voters!—in the political process.
Plus the start of Advent and Hanukkah. Wishing everyone happy holidays!
Have a great weekend.
