Committee Doings back to top

The Single Payer Committee

The Single Payer Committee normally meets on the second Monday of every month, so the next meeting will be on February 13th, at 7:00pm, and all are welcome! Use this zoom

We now have SIX working groups!  More at NYHA@nypan.org

TikTok Working Group - our newest! Contact Abby Gavin, Abby@nypan.org, to jump in and create brilliant TikToks that will help move the bar on passing the Health Act - particularly with younger people - our future!

People2People Working Group - Contact Erl Kimmich, erlendkimmich@gmail.com or 646-596-0228. People2People is focused on outreach from person to person, because that is the most effective way to get the word out about supporting passage of the NY Health Act. Our Revolution is providing us with their events scheduling map (which you may remember from the Bernie campaign), so we are asking everyone to go ahead and schedule your events here. Also, we are building an advanced call team to further drive turnout to your events. Sign up for the call team here!

Research Working Group - Contact Steven Cecchini, stevenc@nypan.org. Research continues to look for information to assist Electoral with power mapping our senators, to create county tax savings numbers, and to help create forceful flyers.

Labor Working Group - Contact Jeff Mikkelson, jeff@nypan.org. Labor is developing strategies and outreach materials to amplify existing support for and overcome lingering opposition to the NY Health Act among labor unions, focusing on the large public sector unions that wield significant influence over Democratic leadership and the legislative process.

Electoral Working Group - Contact Ting Barrow, tingb@nypan.org. Electoral has begun the process of power mapping every one of our state senators, and is bent on finding the levers that will move them to #PassNYHealth as well as a strategy to use those levers with other organizations during the next session.

Medical Professionals Working Group - Contact Donald Gardner, donald@gardnerproject.com. This new working group will work on building support among medical professionals, in particular in organizations.

And we just got in 5,000 more of our latest flyer. Check it out!
