You might remember our cover story a few weeks ago about home health care workers fighting for better pay and benefits. Hannahjs at Young Philly Politics points out today that Philly's home health care workers will be agitating for better health care Thursday in Washington D.C.

Home care attendants like Brenda are joining over three hundred other health care workers and community members from as far away as Erie, Pennsylvania on Thursday June 25th as part of Health Care for America Now’s national Washington day of action for quality, affordable health care for everybody. I am so proud to be accompanying community members, health care workers and their family members to DC on Thursday and to be helping to document their stories (I’ll be the girl with at least 2 cameras and a notepad).

We have two buses leaving from Philadelphia alone, and I promise that if you join us you’ll meet community activists, union members, and allies from all over the country, and learn practical next steps for winning health care reform in our city and across the country.
