Are you going to show up on January 15th to protect healthcare?

It looks like the Bernie 2016 site has been updated with the locations of rallies:

Now is the time to fight back and Save Health Care!

On Sunday, January 15, join Democratic members of Congress, trade unions, senior groups, health care activists and all those who believe in economic and social justice to tell Republicans loudly and clearly: we won't let you throw nearly 30 million people off of health insurance, make massive cuts to Medicaid and defund Planned Parenthood.


You can find a rally here:

Also, you should contact your local representatives and ask them to join Senator Sanders, Senator Schumer, and Congresswoman Pelosi.

Show up. Bring a friend. Hell, bring a Trump voter. I don't think they want to lose their healthcare either, and this will be a wake-up call.

near where I live! I guess I should have known. There ARE a lot of Dems in Ga. but nor the majority for sure.

I'll be cheering for all of you. Hope they get picked up by the media this time!

in the entire state of NY there are only 2, and neither Senator will be at either of them.

But that's better than Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts that have nothing scheduled at all.

And the whole damn South.
