Week Two with Two Marches
The legislative session is building momentum but still has a month to the frantic deadlines for bills to crossover to the other house or die. So far 988 House bills and 594 in the Senate have been introduced. As mentioned last time, blessedly the majority won’t make the crossover, or even make a committee agenda. More

Volunteers needed! Healthcare for All canvassing starts Sunday.
Healthcare is a human right, and all of us deserve affordable, quality healthcare. Yet most West Virginians that we talk to have trouble accessing or affording the care that they need. We will never get the healthcare system that we deserve until we organize people to demand it. More

Keep Senator Capito from Straying after her Visit with Trump
Today Senator Capito is joining President Trump in making a visit to the Boy Scout National Jamboree, and no doubt Trump will be using this opportunity to twist our Senator's arm on healthcare. On top of that, the Senate is expected to vote on another (secret) healthcare bill as early as tomorrow. That's why it's more critical than ever that we urge Senator Capito to vote NO! Come join us this week for events in Huntington and Charleston! More
