Strike Debt Launches Healthcare Emergency: It's a Matter of "Life or Debt" campaign. Assistance Needed!
Strike Debt Launches Healthcare Emergency: It's a Matter of "Life or Debt" campaign. Assistance Needed!
Hello allies!
As you know, Strike Debt!(offshoot of Occupy Wall Street) has been purchasing individual's debt on the secondary market for pennies on the dollar - and then erasing that debt. Now we are targeting the medical-industrial complex. Again, the plan is to announce our large purchase (and abolishment) of medical debt, kick off a series of direct actions, provide free medical care, and rally a march to highlight community hospital closings around Manhattan. Components of this initiative are going to manifest themselves around the country - not just in NY.
To make this whole plan work we are going to need your help! Share this information through your networks.
First:
The official posting of this event (with a lot more detail) is available athttp://strikedebt.org/lifeordebt/
Posting this link on Facebook, Twitter and other means would be supremely helpful.
Second:
Two events have been created on our Facebook page. One for the direct action on March 21st and another for the Free Health Clinic on March 23rd.
Inviting your friends on Facebook would be of great assistance.
