I am fired up that @BernieSanders will be seeking re-election!
It was Bernie's advocacy on economic justice, social justice, and climate justice that inspired me to step up and serve. So honored to share the ballot - and the campaign trail - with him again this year.

Since April, we’ve been sounding the alarm and sharing insights into how the unwinding of Medicaid will impact between 15-18 million Americans. Today we're releasing our newest report with @PplsActionInst and @MaketheRoadNY
*NEW* #Medicaid report finds that in Vermont:
-Nearly 1/2 survey respondents had challenges applying, renewing + accessing services
-1/2 were unaware of the need to renew coverage when national PHE ended

A recent letter to the editor mischaracterized Rights & Democracy as giving up on democracy. We believe the current government can serve, protect and include all citizens and are working hard to create a democracy that works for everyone. zurl.co/eoCp

More than 1,600 people have signed the petition demanding @UnitedHealthGrp cover Jenn's lifesaving care. It's beautiful to see our power in numbers. Sign if you haven't + keep spreading the word! 📝 ❤️🩹 ppls.ac/jenncare
Jenn spent two decades providing emergency medical care to people who need it, only to have @UnitedHealthGrp stop her from getting health care when she needs it. xitter.cf/PplsAction/status/1646…

While technically available to the public, the information is challenging both to unearth and decipher — in some cases coming in the form of barely legible handwritten documents.
