27 million people could lose access to health care


President of the United States
Save Community Health Center Funding!

Community Health Centers

NC

Federal funding for community health centers across the U.S. expired last October – putting the health care access of 27 million patients at risk. If this funding isn’t reauthorized soon, services will be cut and millions of Americans nationwide could lose their health care.

We are CommWell Health, one of 10,000 community health centers currently living at the edge of a fiscal cliff as we wait to see if Congress will take action. Community health centers like ours are non-profit health organizations who help patients that are often unable to be seen elsewhere.

Since October, we’ve had to make tough budget choices to ensure that we can continue to provide care to our patients.

That’s why we are issuing this red-alert to Congress calling on them to re-authorize Community Health Center funding right away.

Community health centers across the country, along with their doctors, patients and staff face a ticking clock as much of our federal funding will only last through March 31, 2018. Our communities need action now.

Please stand with us by signing and sharing this petition calling on Congress to re-authorize funding for our country’s Community Health Centers today!

Stand with veterans against Trump ~


One year ago, we landed one of the first and cleanest shots against the Trump administration of any progressive organization.

Watch the television ad featuring an Afghanistan veteran speaking directly to Donald Trump that we placed on Morning Joe — right where we knew Trump himself would see it. When you’re done, chip in $3 to help us keep elevating the voices of veterans willing to fight back against Trump.

Every day since and on the most important issues, we have taken the fight to Trump — and we have broken through. Your donation helps us keep fighting.

sick time check-up – workingwa.org


We are Working Washington

It doesn’t matter what your boss says. It doesn’t matter what your job title is. And it doesn’t matter what city you work in.

As of January 1, 2018, if you’re an hourly worker in Washington state, you get paid sick time.

And that’s why we’re reaching out today.

Can you answer a few quick questions to make sure your employer is following the new sick time law, and you and your co-workers are getting what you’re entitled to?

TAKE OUR SICK TIME CHECK-UP

Paid sick time has been the law since January 1st. Under the new law, all hourly workers in Washington get 1 hour of sick time for every 40 hours worked — about 6 days a year if you work full-time. And the law says you have a right to use your sick time if you’re sick, for a medical appointment, or to care for a sick family member.

Now it’s up to us to make sure that right is a reality in every workplace in our state. Take our sick time check-up so we can see how we’re doing.

Thanks,

Working Washington
