In-District Visits

Health Care For All

Thank you for participating in NCLR’s Health Care for All August recess effort, a coast-to-coast engagement where hundreds of community leaders will meet with their members of Congress during the August recess. This website will give you the basic information you will need before, during, and after your meetings.

The time for health care reform is now. For months, Congress has been debating the best way to provide coverage for everyone in the U.S. As final decisions are reached we need to make sure that our families, friends, and neighbors are represented in all discussions.

We need to make sure that your members of Congress do the right thing for our community and guarantee appropriate and affordable health care for everyone.
