Lessons Learned in the Fight for Medicaid Expansion
Afternoon Session | 1:30 PM
Get Out the Vote: Faith-filled voting
This session explores the importance of Medicaid Expansion for
Texas and shows the impact that people of faith made during the last
legislative session. It will look at current elections and the Build Back
Better Bill pending in US Congress to show how you can impact the health of
your community through health policy and advocacy.
Our
faith calls us to participate in civic life. The heart of that is
voting. Learn how you can build your knowledge and educate others about
the current elections and how to reach out to your community in a non-partisan
way to encourage voting.
We encourage you to bring a congregational team and explore multiple workshop tracks!
