Join us for a gathering of like minded, left leaning, Democratic Socialists, Green, Independents, Yellow Jacket Activists and ACTUAL PROGRESSIVES to prepare for 2020.
- WE will not be ignored, mocked, or beaten down – we are the working class brothers and sisters fighting for our lives and the survival of the earth we walk on.
- WE will stand together in spite of the establishment, big banks, big oil and gas – in spite of their hateful rebukes.
- WE will fight like hell, with love for one another, as the very motive for our future together.
- WE will have Medicare for All
- WE will have a living wage for ALL workers
- WE will have a Green New Deal – including Green Infrastructure and Green jobs.
- WE embrace, protect, and love each other, no matter what color, what race, what nationality, sexual orientation, or religion because we are all human beings.
BERNIE has not officially announced he is running but WE will be ready when he is.

Medicare for All – The Road Forward
Join ORKC at this important event: Wendell Potter will explain the impact of the mid-term election results and where to go from here. Admission is free, tickers through Eventbrite, but donations to Unity Temple are welcomed at the door.
Potter first came to national attention when he testified in Congress about the damage caused by the misinformation campaigns he helped create as VP of Communication for Cigna – before he left Cigna and became an advocate for Medicare for All. Founder of the independent investigative journalism group Tarbell.org and author of Deadly Spin and Nation on the Take, Potter will share his insider’s perspective on the state of American healthcare and how we can improve and expand Medicare for us all.
This event is hosted by Physicians for a National Health Program-Missouri.
