Kentuckians for Single Payer Health Care is organizing a local, Louisville action for improved Medicare
for All to take place simultaneously with events in cities across the nation on Saturday, July 24, 2021.
The national website is here https://m4m4all.org/ and the event is called March for Medicare for All. The
purpose is to speed the day when our health care is organized around patients rather than profits and to
make health care a human right.
We hope to work with you and others to mobilize large numbers to demand that Congress take action by
passing a national single payer, improved Medicare for All plan. Such a plan would end the tragic denial
of care that causes so much suffering and unnecessary loss of life.
On Saturday, July 24, 2021, we plan to begin at 11 AM in the park in front of the Mazzoli Federal Building,
600 Dr. Martin Luther King Pl., where we have permission from the city to use the site. We will have
speakers and music then march and/or caravan to Breewayy, the square at 6 th between Liberty and
Jefferson. There we will place flowers in honor of Breonna Taylor, to connect with her profession as a
healer, and to link the struggle for health care with the fight to end systemic racism. We will return to
where we began and share refreshments and socialize.
We will also be celebrating Medicare’s 56 th birthday. We welcome your ideas. We hope you will join with
us in cosponsoring the March for Medicare for All.
