> On November 2nd, Democracy for America and the Wellstone Democratic Renewal
> Club are putting on an event specifically geared toward encouraging small
> business owners in the area to understand how much single payer will help
> them, and in how many ways. I'm attaching a flyer entitled "End the Small
> Business Nightmare" that explains the event. The two organizations are
> encouraging members and other interested activists to sign up to distribute
> these flyers to businesses in the area. While we already have many blocks
> covered, obviously there are a multitude of small businesses in
> Berkeley/Albany/Oakland/ Emeryville that we'd love to get the word out to.
>
> Here's what has worked for me in walking with the leaflet:
> "Hi there-I'm helping to organize a meeting next week at the Rockridge
> Library (on College) to help people understand what Single Payer Health Care
> would do for us. I know that most small businesses can't afford to give
> their employees health insurance-is that true here, too? Did you know that
> there's a bill in the CA legislature that would create an improved Medicare
> for All system, so we'd all have access to quality health care from cradle
> to grave? Please come and find out more next week. "
>
> I got lots of positive responses, including most people saying they can't
> afford insurance and have no coverage, and even a few sympathetic owners.
>
> Please let me know if you are able to join us in this project, and what
> blocks you are able to walk with the leaflet. I've included other relevant
> materials that would be great to print out and take with you, in case you
> are able to engage with an employer or employee on the topic.

> Thanks,
