Nashville's Southside Community Church was honored to be the site of Tony Award winning performer, Sarah Jones, "A Right to Care" health-themed show. The daughter of two physicians, Sarah Jones told a Nashville audience of about 170 persons that her multi-ethnic background coupled with her education at the United Nations School, inspired her myriad of characters from her current production. Commissioned by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Ms. Jones varied characters touched upon the many stories that make up our nation's health care crisis and dictate the need for health reform now. Ms. Jones told audience members that she hopes that her characters inspire discussion and anger-- this debate she mused brings the issues to hand that our legislators must address.

Sponsored by the Congressional Asian Pacific Caucus; Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the Congressional Black Caucus and presented by the Partnership for Quality Care and the SEIU, Tennesseans were treated to a free performance from a world-renowned progressive performer. Change that Works Tennessee worked for weeks, bringing together a special audience at the Nashville church-- a standing room only audience from all over the state. Team members from Tennessee were especially vested in the fight for health care reform, sighting racial disparity and affordability as issues they want addressed.
