Great organizers aren’t born – they’re trained!

If we want to win our fight for healthcare justice, we have to develop and sharpen the skills we need to talk about our issues, persuade our friends and neighbors, and bring folks together to make change. Our training series breaks down how our current healthcare system works, the impact for-profit healthcare is having on our communities and our country, and how we can organize to get us all the justice we deserve. Whether you are an experienced organizer looking for a refresher or brand new activist looking to get involved for the first time, join us to learn together and build power!

Scroll to the bottom of this page for a full description of any training. Our trainings are conducted online with a live facilitator in an interactive workshop format.

Telling Your Healthcare Story

Telling Your Healthcare Story Training

Length: 90 minutes
Resources: Training Slideshow, Frequent Challenges Telling Your Healthcare Story

Description: Our vision is to develop a national network of speakers and writers whose powerful personal testimony about the U.S. healthcare system will serve as the public face of the urgent, moral call for Medicare for All. To join us - please sign up below!

Your healthcare story is the most powerful message for Medicare for All - far more important than economic arguments, or data about uninsurance and bankruptcy rates. In this 90 minute training, we will teach you the craft of story-telling and help you develop a moving 2-minute version of your healthcare story. We will share your story on our website, making your testimony available for op-eds, letters to the editor, Healthcare-NOW reports, public hearings, and for reporters interested in your experience with the healthcare system.
