May 3, 2017: This is not a drill, y’all. House Republicans are at it again, attempting to slash and burn health care access for millions of people in the US! In fact, they believe they have the votes lined up for a vote TOMORROW. We could lose health care that 1.2 million people with HIV and one in four Americans with pre-existing conditions depend on for survival.
We have been calling on you a lot but we urgently need you right now. If you do nothing else, call your representative RIGHT NOW to OPPOSE the Amended American Health Care Act (AHCA) Repeal Bill. We are looking to move folks into the NO column below. Speak up and demand that your elected officials oppose the AHCA. Because our lives depend on it.
Call your Representative TODAY at (866) 246-9371. This number is toll-free and will connect you with your Representative. Here is what you can say:
Hello, my name is _______ and I live in [city & state]. I am a person [living with HIV /concerned about HIV]. I am calling to demand that you vote against the American Health Care Act. The American Health Care Act will hurt people living with and vulnerable to HIV by making it harder and more expensive to get the care they need. All Americans deserve better. I urge you to support people living with and vulnerable to HIV and oppose the American Health Care Act.
Below is a list of updated targets as of several minutes ago from Families USA. After you make your call, check out these sample social media posts and please post to Twitter and Facebook! Some graphics you can use are linked at the bottom of this email.
