Right to Heal VA Campaign
Veteran & Community Meeting
2:30PM | Saturday, April 14, 2018

The Right to Heal VA Campaign (RTH) has been on the move and we want to get you more involved. On Saturday, April 14th, at the Jesse Brown VA, we are hosting a Veteran & Community Meeting to do just that.

What: Veteran & Community Meeting
Where: Vision Conference Room, Second Floor, Damen Building
Jesse Brown VA, 820 S Damen Ave, Chicago, IL 60612
When: 2:30PM | Saturday, April 14, 2018
RSVP by mailing Right to Heal <RightToHealVA@gmail.com> or join the event on Facebook

At this meeting we will share our plans to build the campaign locally and how we are working to coordinate nationally. We also want to hear from you on why you want to join the fight to save the VA from privatization. RSVP today to join us at our Veteran & Community Meeting.

Since our March 1st program we have been busy! Hundreds of you called your representatives on our Save the VA Call In Day; We had delegations visit staffers at Senator Durbin’s, Senator Duckworth’s, and Representative Quigley’s Offices;  With SEIU Healthcare and AFGE 789 we demanded that Rear Adm. Jackson and President Trump state unequivocally that the Administration will not pursue an agenda to privatize the VA in anyway shape or form; We hosted a panel on the issues and our campaign at the Labor Notes Conference; And we’ve gotten press coverage in a handful of great outlets. But we still have our work cut out for us.

With all the turmoil resulting from Secretary Shulkin’s dismissal and Trump’s overt plans to privatize the VA, now is the time to get organized. Join the fight to save the VA. RSVP today to join us at our Veteran & Community Meeting.
