Event in DC: Health Care for All

Dear Mike Hersh,

Congress is currently drafting health care reform proposals; now is the time to let your voice be heard!

Join FCNL and Faithful Reform in Health Care in DC on June 24th for an Interfaith Service of Witness and Prayer on the need for comprehensive health care reform.

The event will begin at 4 pm with a "health fair" including free health care screenings, live music, and information on health care reform principles from faith-based organizations. Look for FCNL's materials at the Washington Inter-Religious Staff Community (WISC) health care table.

At 5:15 faith leaders and members of Congress will begin sharing their thoughts on health care reform. Speakers include Rev. Dr. James A. Forbes, Jr. of the Healing of the Nations Foundation, Rabbi David Saperstein of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, and Dr. Sayyid Syeed of the Islamic Society of North America.

The event will wrap up around 8 pm. We hope to see you there!
