Pounding the Pavement for Health Reform

Change that Works Arkansas volunteers canvassed in Pine Bluff this past Saturday. Volunteers spoke with their neighbors about the critical need to fix our broken health care system and asked them to write letters and make phone calls to Senators Lincoln and Pryor and Congressman Ross.

After knocking on over 200 doors, volunteers gathered for a cook-out at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Park by the Coretta Scott King Club house, and continued to write letters and share their stories about their personal health care struggles. Check out photos from our slideshow here:

The Pine Bluff community is working with four other Change that Works regional offices around Arkansas to bring health insurance reform to the working people of Arkansas. Teams of organizers go door to door regularly and participate in public events to help create the change we want to see. Join our fight here:
