Like him or loathe him, @jimmy_dore came up with a pretty great plan to get a vote on #MedicareForAll before the end of the year, by asking members of the Progressive Caucus to withhold their vote for Nancy Pelosi to be Speaker in 2021, as a... 1/5

negotiating tactic, unless she brings Medicare For All up for a vote. Supporters of this plan include the Hill's @krystalball , @BernieSanders former press secretary @briebriejoy and co-founder of the Justice Democrats @KyleKulinski . Please watch...2/5

the video to learn more about the plan, and contact some Progressive Caucus Members, especially if you're a constituent, and ask them to withhold their vote for Pelosi. Here are some members that SHOULD be friendly to Medicare For All:
3/5

AOC Ilhan Omar Jamaal Bowman
Ayanna Pressley Rashida Tlaib Cori Bush
Ro Khanna Raul Grijalva Barbara Lee
Mark DeSaulnier Jared Huffman
4/5

Jimmy Gomez
Debbie Dingell Katie Porter Karen Bass
Mondaire Jones Grace Meng Mark Pocan
Pramilla Jayapal Suzanne Bonamici Lloyd Doggett

5/5

@AOC, if we can force a vote on this, the people will see who is against them. Reps like Mike Thompson, who I ran against twice, won't be able to lie about supporting it anymore. And then Pelosi will have to acknowledge the power you and the other progressives have.

This is the moment when progressives flex their power and stop feeling powerless. And you are the clear voice of House progressives if you take it.
