Women’s Day of Action for Health Care Reform

Women’s Day of Action for Health Care Reform

Wednesday, November 4, 2009

On November 4, 2009, the National Women’s Law Center will be spearheading a Women’s Day of Action for Health Care Reform to highlight the inequities women face in our broken health care system and the need for health care reform that works for women and their families. Please use the attached flyers to help us spread the word.

During the day, we invite organizations are invited to participate in three different ways:

Organize a Local Area Event

Resources will be available for advocates and organizations to hold house parties and trivia nights throughout the country. To ensure that you and your organization receive the materials as soon as they are available, and so we can help promote your event on our website, please register your event at http://action.nwlc.org/womensday.

Washington DC Event

NWLC will host an all-day (from 9 am to 9 pm) vigil in Dupont Circle, where health care stories will be read throughout the day. We want to make sure that stories from all perspectives are read. Organizations in the area can participate in the vigil by:

• “Adopting” an hour of time to read stories from your members.
• Volunteering to read stories we gather from around the country.
• Visiting our readers in Dupont Circle during the day of the event.

To volunteer to read stories or to help during the day of event please email Thao Nguyen at tnguyen@nwlc.org or 202-588-5180.

Online Event

We will provide online resources for those unable to attend an event in their area so that they will also be able to participate in the Women’s Day of Action.

For questions and to participate in the Women’s Day of Action for Health Care Reform, please contact Thao Nguyen at tnguyen@nwlc.org or 202-588-5180.
