On Saturday, June 6, Change that Works organizers joined as dozens of activists from Organizing for America answered the President's call to meet and discuss health care reform. In house meetings across the state, Louisianans watched the President's health care reform message; shared their health care stories and found out how they could further participate in the health care reform discussion.

At dozens of meet-ups, people shared stories of their experiences with a broken health care system--from small business owners unable to provide expensive insurance to working families being forced to make the unimaginable choices between paying the mortgage and paying for health care. The story was achingly the same, the time for real reform is now.

Plans were made for helping to spread the word and lay the groundwork for the national day of action on June 27. Echoing similar calls from all across the country, the message from Shreveport to New Orleans, Lake Charles to Baton Rouge was clear: it is time to take action and demand the change we need. Join SEIU's Change That Works campaign and stay tuned in the coming weeks for more details on the national day of action.
