How do we learn, grow, and transition from single-issue, mostly-isolated, tactical, Medicare for All campaigns that end in defeat, time and again? We begin by fusing "daily justice" health issues (e.g., housing, food, living wage, pollution, over-policing) to healthcare justice for all (i.e., access, equity, quality, not-for-profit, patient-centered, comprehensive). We cross the policy, political, and people chasms with empathy, compassion, persistance, and commitment. We bridge the racial, class, and generational divides with a mutually-respectful, strategic approach that builds trust, deep connections and, thus, MASS MOVEMENT VICTORIES for ALL, on EVERY FRONT!
