YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOver a thousand protesters went to Congress to tell them how they feel about the AHCA. Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola, and Francesca Fiorentini, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"At some 36 events in nearly two dozen states, Republican senators heard a single message loud and clear on Thursday: do not take away health care.
According to Our Revolution, one of the national organizers, at least 1,000 activists participated in sit-ins at local state offices of senators who are considering backing legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare. The nationwide effort combined the forces of Democracy Spring, a civil resistance organization, Our Revolution, the political organization that stemmed from Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign, Democratic Socialists of America, the Working Families Party and more.
The country-spanning protest came about in response to the threat of an imminent vote on the Better Care Reconciliation Act, the Senate’s version of repeal efforts and the lack of scheduled GOP town halls during the congressional recess this week. The idea was that if these senators would not provide a forum to hear from their constituents, their constituents would come to them—risking arrest in the process.”*
