St. Louis ACORN, along with our event co-sponsors(Planned Parenthood,
SEIU, UAW, CWA, PROMO, Metropolitan Congregations United, and many
more progressive organizations) will hosting the Health Care Can't
Wait! townhall discussion at the Forest Park Community College Student
Theatre, from 11am till Noon on Saturday.
Why should you show up? Because we all know that President Obama and
his progressive allies can't make this happen, without grassroots
support. Already Republicans and conservative Democrats are taking aim
at removing the option of buying into a public healthcare option, the
cornerstone of any meaningful healthcare reform. America's healthcare
delivery system is broken, and we can't just keep trying minor tweaks
and hoping that the duct tape keeping this country's healthcare system
together holds. We need real change, real fast!

Across the country, people have been mobilizing in support of
healthcare reform, with thousands coming out to these events in the
month of April. Now it's St. Louis' turn to show that we support
meaningful healthcare reform. So here are the details.

What: Health Care Can't Wait! Townhall Discussion

Featuring panelists(both consumers and providers) speaking about the
need for real healthcare reform.

When: Saturday, April 25th at 11am till Noon.

Where: Forest Park Community College Student Theatre.

Why: Because America's healthcare system has failed, and we need to
let our elected representatives know that we are demanding change!
