Summary

I traveled extensively across multiple states, from Colorado to Florida, organizing major bus tours and trainings aimed at advocating for healthcare reforms and public safety. My extensive journey included holding Senator Cory Gardner accountable for his votes, delivering a speech during the Democratic National Convention, and introducing President Barack Obama at the ACA 11th anniversary event online. I also led Nationwide bus tours on the debt ceiling crisis and protected our benefits, while leading a tour featuring Americans for Contraception on birth control. To engage tens of millions of people with my story while fighting to protect our health care, I held several large free trainings to help people become stronger public advocates. Additionally, I successfully pushed for health care reform legislation in several states, including lowering the cost of health insurance through public options, Medicaid buy-in, and Basic Health Plan bills in states like Colorado, Minnesota, and Oregon, along with lowering the cost of prescription drugs via affordability boards in states such as Colorado and Maryland.
