DESCRIPTION:A top political priority for activists like Matt Stone of Democratic 
 Socialists of America is a nationwide campaign to win Medicare for All, a 
 single federal program providing universal and comprehensive healthcare 
 coverage to all U.S. residents - free at the point of service. This has so 
 far been an uphill climb, with Republican members of Congress invoking the 
 cost of such a program while they shepherd in trillion-dollar tax cuts 
 favoring the wealthy, hundreds of billions for weapons systems the Pentagon 
 at times doesn't even ask for, and many more billions for wars in the 
 Middle East that our country never seems to win.\n\nThus the Medicare for 
 All campaign has become a focus of Democratic Socialists of America in its 
 commitment to, among other things, building a mass movement to win 
 universal health care. Every weekend local DSA chapters from coast to coast 
 mobilize volunteer activists to knock on doors and talk to their neighbors 
 about both socialism and healthcare.\n \nOn Sunday, September 23, PASMC 
 will present Matt, a local organizer with the Medicare for All campaign, 
 who will talk about DSA's vision for such a system - and its mass 
 organizing strategy to make it a reality. The event begins at 7 PM at the 
 Unitarian Universalists of San Mateo, 300 E. Santa Inez Avenue (at 
 Ellsworth) in San Mateo. Admission is free, contributions welcome. The UUSM 
 is wheelchair accessible.\n\nMatt Stone is a volunteer organizer with DSA. 
 He currently serves as the Medicare for All Committee Co-Chair for the East 
 Bay chapter, and is also the West Coast Regional Organizer for the 
 organization's National Medicare for All Campaign.\n\nOn September 23 come 
 hear reasons and strategies for universal health care, from someone 
 spending quality time working on both.\n\nFree, contributions welcome.\n
