SPNow offering more Single Payer classes - SF, Pacifica, Castro Valley, & Berkeley

SinglePayerNow.net wants YOU to Be an Organizer for Single Payer Healthcare
Schedule of SF and Pacifica Classes Below
 
Dear Single Payer Activist,
 
You are invited to a series of classes on single payer policies and strategies for winning. The class descriptions and next scheduled classes are listed below.  We also encourage you to host a serious of classes.  Our goal is to train thousands of advocates to speak with their friends, co-workers, and neighbors.  At some point, single payer healthcare will be on the California ballot and we will need 50,000 volunteers to help win the vote in our 17,700 precincts
 
Class #1 – SB 810, the California Universal Healthcare Act.  This class covers the contents of SB 810 and where it is in the legislative process.  It is designed to make people feel comfortable asking others to sign a SB 810 postcard that will be sent to state legislators.
 
Class #2 - HR 676, the U.S. National Healthcare Act.  The class covers the contents of HR 676 and where it is in the legislative process.  It is designed to make people feel comfortable asking others to sign a HR 676 postcard that will be sent to the president. 
 
Class #3 – The Politics and Strategies of the Single Payer Movement. The class discusses what groups are involved and what strategies do they favor.   Why is our group, Single Payer Now, so focused on educating voters to talk with their friends, co-workers, and neighbors about healthcare minus the insurance companies?  Maybe we are trying to build the team that will be needed to win a California ballot initiative?
