The Pushback Network is a national collaboration of indigenous, grassroots organizations and networks committed to building bottom-up, state-based alliances that change both the composition and levels of participation of the electorate. We emphasize strategies to empower underrepresented constituencies: people of color, poor and working class communities, and young people.
The Pushback Network envisions an authentic participatory democracy through which true social justice can be achieved. We seek a democracy that creates opportunities for ordinary people to make real contributions to the political decisions that affect their lives. Through our efforts, we hope to achieve a democracy powered by the diverse skills, talents and cultures of the American people, rather than solely the wealthy and privileged. With our allies, we are creating a democracy where grassroots communities, who have been historically pushed to the political margins, lead toward social change rooted in progressive values.
Who I'd like to meet: Those who believe in change.
Those who work for change.
Justice mongers.
Thank you for supporting the OneCareU.S. MySpace profile! Hope you will join us at our blog and pass along to your friends what we're all finding out about the concept of a Single-Payer National Health program. It's the difference between TRUE Universal Health Insurance and phony schemes for private insurance companies to continue business as usual. If we want REAL healthcare reform then we all need to spread the word!
PLEASE FORWARD PETITIONS AND HELP US REACH OUR GOAL Single-Payer for Healthcare Now! Every Single Person, Take One Single Action, Every Single Day, for SINGLE-PAYER for HEALTH CARE FOR ALL!
“Of all forms of inequity, injustice in health care is the most shocking and the most inhumane.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
