Medi-Cal Under Attack w/ Christopher Wilson


Listen Later

We’re taking a look at how organizers at the state level are defending vital services like Medicaid, Medicare, public education, and Social Security that are under attack by the Trump administration and sometimes, their own state governments. We’re starting here in my home state of California where the coalition We Are California has been demanding protection of our Medi-Cal program. Joining me to discuss this work is one of the leaders of We Are California, Vice President of Operations for PowerPAC, Christopher Wilson.

We want to spend more time on this show highlighting state level organizing being done to protect our fragile social safety nets. If you are seeing effective organizing in your state to protect healthcare, education, or other public services, we’d love to talk with folks leading that charge.
