This summer, Organizing for America will fight to ensure Americans receive much-needed health care reform in 2009. Community service is a critical piece of our health care campaign and our National Health Care Day of Service on June 27th, 2009 will highlight its importance.
You don’t need to be an expert to help out. If you have a few hours to spare, you can help people near you get the care they need, and raise awareness about the urgent reform our nation requires.
The AAC mission is to act as a liasion between the community and public officials to inform and educate the community, in addition to support candidates running for office.
