Join New Yorkers on Thursday June 19th for a day of
protest against health insurance profiteering. We
will speak-out against the proposed privatization of
GHI and HIP and claim Health Care as a basic human
right! We will mourn the countless victims of the
health insurance industry while marking Juneteenth – a
day commemorating the emancipation of slaves in North
America. The NYC action is one of 17 others nation-wide
in solidarity with activists in San Francisco, CA who
will be protesting the annual meeting of 38,000 health
insurance executives. On June 19th, join fellow New
Yorkers in declaring our emancipation from for-profit
healthcare and support for the single-payer national
health insurance bill H. R. 676.

Bring friends & signs.
