A new generation of activists has brought tremendous energy, militant tactics and deeper organizing to the movement for Medicare For All. Many of these activists are rank and file workers and leaders in the labor movement as well. This workshop will highlight the connections between worker organizing and the fight to win Medicare for All, and how young union leaders organize within the labor movement and in support of the Medicare for All political struggles.
