Hundreds of activists from around the country convened for an online week of inspiration and strategy to win Medicare for All! The 2022 M4A conference featured more than 20 plenary panels, 40 live workshops, and 80 speakers.
From fights with drug and hospital companies to workers' rights, racial justice and climate justice, our fight for state and federal Medicare for All is connected to many larger struggles, and we need each other to win. But it's one thing to say our struggles are connected: it's much harder to build true common cause and strategic alignment. What are some of the common challenges that come up when we try to deepen relationships and collaboration across movements? What specific strategies and tactics are people finding successful? In this session, we'll hear how organizers in California, New York and Pennsylvania are working coalitionally across lines of race, nationality and immigration status to position themselves as the health justice wing of a broader multiracial movement. We'll use either small group discussions or a big-group Q&A to give everyone a chance to ask questions and workshop challenges together.
