On Monday, February 24th, approximately 100 people gathered at the Normal Uptown Circle to say NO to any cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, Medicare, and Social Security. The message was for Darin La Hood, who ended up voting soon after for a federal budget that would necessitate cuts to at least Medicaid and student loans. Pressure is growing nationwide opposing these cuts, as the Republicans are literally stealing from our programs in order to give to the wealthy.
The event featured many local groups, as reported on by WGLT. Rachel Shively represented the Illinois Single Payer Coalition in announcing our local campaign for Medicare for All.
