HealthCare United - Maine

Yesterday, Grant Schott, HealthCare United's Maine organizer, held a meeting to get ideas on how to start moving this campaign forward in Maine. There were four interested individuals there, myself included. One was a social worker from southern Maine and another was a former union sister who used to work through Alpha One. Grant asked us if we'd be willing to help out with this campaign in Maine. We all made suggestions of groups to contact and try to work with. Grant specifically asked for help with canvassing and making phone calls. SEIU is working on this campaign across the nation. Please see the post of July 18th about HealthCare United. If there are any members of 771 who are interested in working on this campaign, please contact me helen.hnsn@gmail.com or Grant grant@healthcareunited.org for more information. This is a great way to meet other health care workers in Maine and share ideas on reform and work towards making those reforms a reality.
