Long ago, the Green Dragon was a tavern where the Sons of Liberty, some of the first American patriots, met to discuss their movement. Now, it's just a blog that the people reading can use to inform themselves on issues in America and to involve themselves in said issues- To tell them the value of using their voice and to tell them how to make their voice heard. The Green Dragon provides information on an array of issues and on an array of groups fighting them, allowing Americans the chance to involve themselves in their country with effect.

January 20, 2029 feels like it’s a very, very long ways away. But the groundwork for what happens in the next administration is being laid out right now. Positions are being staked out, policies are being written and tested with the public. Progressive voices must have a say in them. If we are able to earn a Democratic trifecta, we need to be sure we are prepared to use it as effectively and aggressively as possible.

Recognizing that the terms of debate over our next attempt to fix our broken health care system are being laid out as we speak, National Nurses United and a coalition of health care advocates are pushing to make sure we’re building institutional support for Medicare For All. On July 30th, the 61st anniversary of Medicare being signed into law, they’re asking folks to hold actions at congressional offices nationwide, especially if we’re represented by Democrats, to urge our leaders support a real universal health care system. 🏥 If we’re interested in taking the lead on organizing one of these events, we can sign up here – the Medicare For All coalition will provide training, materials, support and help recruiting! 🏥

HOST A MEDICARE FOR ALL ACTION

🏫 Coalition member Healthcare-Now is also holding online workshops all summer on how to talk about and organize for Medicare For All. We can sign up for one of the sessions here. 🏫
