Rally to Tear Down Barriers to Care (Nov. 9)
Leadership Training participants marched from the Pendry Hotel to the nearby Immigration and Customs Enforcement (I.C.E.) office where we demanded an efficient, effective, and humane health care system that covers all residents of the United States, regardless of immigration status.
PNHP members rallied with several local organizations, including Women’s March San Diego, San Diego Border Dreamers, and Border Angels.
Our members created signs in the morning, prior to the march. Click here for advice on how to make your own protest sign and email organizer@pnhp.org for advice on how to organize a single-payer rally in your community.
