We just received another donation! You know, Shareef Snuggs @iam4M4A and I were just talking about the need to build our communities through #MutualAid, (and while a travel fund is not the same as medical emergency or desperation), we ARE,(1/2)

Deep thanks to @WholeWashington, @M4M4ALL @50linesonly @DesnoyersScott @DrJoeQJarvis @DrDooleyMD @ProudSocialist @J_ManPrime21 @wendellpotter and many more!
Lisa and Fran have always understood the vision of the @RedBeretsM4A, ever since we first all found each other online. We understood that we needed to create a social fabric of solidarity towards achieving healthcare justice in this county, and even more broadly, to extend (1/2)
The vision was and is, about connecting the movement, and in bringing bold, visual imagery and certainly #LABOR—hours and hours of a labor of love, towards achieving national improved Medicare for All.

We extend this solidarity and creative ideas to those fighting to #SaveTheNHS

@StoicGiraffee @JENFL23 Great idea! That’s what we all agree on!! How do we do this? Strategies the @RedBeretsM4A have worked towards this goal:

1. Volunteering thousands of hours to try to elect Bernie.
2. Volunteering for & donating to elect progressives.
3. Co-organized national marches.

(Cont),
@StoicGiraffee @JENFL23 @RedBeretsM4A 4. Worked through creative means to build coalitions and build solidarity in this movement, which is why we were reached out to by Shareef Snuggs @iam4M4A to partner with M4M4ALL.
5. Boosted the hell out of progressive independent media who are platforming M4A organizers,

(Cont)
@StoicGiraffee @JENFL23 @RedBeretsM4A @iam4M4A 6. Lobbied/protested outside our legislators offices to pressure them to co-sponsor (incl, call and email for years)
7. Attend town halls and canvassing events where I personally was assaulted by an elected congressman. (Yes, that happened)!
8. Attended the historic DC hearing,

Remember when @AOC ignored marches in 56 cities?
That was super fun, trying to raise tiny dollar donations from dirt poor/already financially spread thin organizers, wasn’t it, Shareef?

.@ninaturner I need you to see this, too! We, the 99% are out so much money when it comes to donating. We’re funding the revolution. (1/2)
I have a GoFundMe up as my pinned tweet to try to raise money to help @RedBeretsM4A travel to help create a movement documentary of, by &for the 99%. I really thought that the day of the @M4M4ALL, that maybe there was a chance we would get a shout out, or a tweet, pic of button.

@joefirestonephd @M4M4ALL @briebriejoy Ahh yes, the thread that started it all!! The one where @GeoDavenport and I ushered (in good faith), some people who despite getting all of their questions answered, we’re still trolling us relentlessly! So we said, hey, it’s okay! We ALL agree we need to pass NIMA, SO, (1/2),
@joefirestonephd @M4M4ALL @briebriejoy @GeoDavenport Why don’t you all tell us YOUR timeline & strategy for passing NIMA?! (Crickets) …Trolling comments resume, so we say, ‘hey have you all heard about the @M4M4ALL?? Maybe we could all work together on that!’

We say that many times over on “the thread.”

Turns out, they (cont)
@joefirestonephd @M4M4ALL @briebriejoy @GeoDavenport To their credit, they took our advice, and began attending steering committee meetings! Now of course, after their failure to provide us with a timeline & strategy for passing M4A, this group that has so much against @WholeWashington & other local efforts, but zero answers, cont

Hi there @jimmy_dore! It’s me again—“relentless Laura!!”~@J_ManPrime21♥️

I have a quick request! First of all, thanks for endorsing @WholeWashington!!

We would love to create a special endorsement graphic, but we need you to please fill out the form I’ll link below!

#RedBerets
If you don’t want to fill out this form, please write as a response, ‘I don’t want to fill out the fucking form, but YES, I endorse @WholeWashington!’

You may please feel free to ask @RepJayapal why she hasn’t endorsed yet! But that part is optional:-)

wholewashington.org/endorse-whole-…
To the amazing and also funny AF @miserablelib, I don’t think we have officially asked you, for your endorsement of @WholeWashington, and that’s SEXIST! (Actually it kinda is).

We really appreciate you, and we would also be honored to have your official endorsement!! (1/2),

@keidekay @MaryTheQueenOfC @briebriejoy @marwilliamson It’s fine! I ended up gathering that. I blocked them. I’m already having a horrendous 24 hours within the M4A organizing movement, so I don’t have the energy for this debate.

Allow me to explain.
@keidekay @MaryTheQueenOfC @briebriejoy @marwilliamson Essentially, I feel used up by the Medicare for All movement. I have personally knit over 350 #RedBerets to help unify the M4A community.

I strongly supported the electoral strategy. I have donated a HUGE sum of money for yarn, & to M4A candidate campaign. (1/?)
@keidekay @MaryTheQueenOfC @briebriejoy @marwilliamson I donated many many times to @BernieSanders, then recently I donated to @ninaturner! I have donated to @RebeccaforWA to @CallForCongress and many other M4A candidates/champions.

I am not someone who believes we can afford to completely throw out electoral politics (2/?)
