Justice Matters: How Waste & Fraud in US Healthcare Affects Us All
Thursday, April 3, 7-8:30 pm
Having amassed a huge war chest, the private health industry profiteers are bribing politicians to thwart meaningful reforms and a switch to single payer health care. But we still have ways to fight back. Vince Markovchick, MD, is a retired physician and professor. Among other honors, he is the former President of the American Board of Emergency Medicine. He is now working pro bono for the ‘Health Care for All Colorado Foundation’ and ‘Physicians for a National Health Program’.
Hands Off! National Day of Action
Saturday, April 5, 12-2pm
200 E Colfax, Denver
This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country. A core principle behind all Hands Off! events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
