From The People Say No protest in Pensacola, FL yesterday. If there's a protest in your area & you value #democracy & depise what is being done to our country, join in. We're all in this together.

When those kicked off Medicaid have to use the ER for care, guess to whom those costs are passed? What hurts one, hurts all. In this together! Call your congressperson now!
