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.
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.
Michael Lighty is considered a preeminent spokesperson and expert on Medicare for All. For over 25 years, Lighty has organized, written and spoken on the subject. He was a lead policy analyst for a single-payer bill, SB 562, the Healthy California Act.
