NONPARTISAN
HEALTHCARE %
WORKERS WHO ARE %
REALLY CONCERNED %
ABOUT OUR PEERS %
AND OUR %
PATIENTS. %
AND OUR %

POLICIES THAT %

>> A LOT OF %
FOLKS ARE %
NERVOUS ABOUT %
MAILING IN THEIR %
BALLOTS, WHILE %
THE POSTAL %
ISSUES AND
POLITICS LATELY, %
WHAT ADVICE TO %
HAVE HER VOTERS %
WHO STILL PLAN %
TO HEAD TO THE %
POLLS ON % NOVEMBER 3rd? %
NOVEMBER 3rd? %
WHAT SHOULD THEY %
DO TO STAY SAFE? %
>> YEAH, SO YOU %
KNOW, WE REALLY %
WANT FOLKS TO %
UNDERSTAND THAT %
HEALTH IS %
EVERYONE’S %
BUSINESS, RIGHT? %
IT IS EVERY %
SINGLE HUMAN %
BEING’S %
PRIORITY. %
AND YOU CAN’T %
WORK IF YOU ARE %
NOT HEALTHY, YOU %
CAN’T GO TO %
SCHOOL IF YOU’RE %
NOT HEALTHY, YOU %
CAN’T TRAVEL IF %
YOU’RE NOT %
HEALTHY. %
AND ELECTED %
OFFICIALS WE %
KNOW, DO NOT %
LISTEN TO %
PEOPLE, THEY DO %
NOT LISTEN TO %
PEOPLE WHO DO %
NOT VOTE. %
SO WHAT WE ASK %
FOR FOLKS TO DO %
ARE A FEW %
THINGS. %
FIRST, THOSE WHO %
ARE GOING TO THE %
POLLS THIS YEAR, %
IT IS GREAT, AND %
NUMBER ONE, %
ENCOURAGE YOUR %
COMMUNITY, YOUR %
FRIENDS, YOUR %
FAMILY, TO VOTE. %
BECAUSE HE WANT %
THEM TO GET %
THEIR VOICES %
HEARD. %
SECOND, IF YOU %
CAN, TRY TO GET
THEM TO REGISTER %
TO VOTE. %
YOU CAN DO THAT %
ACTUALLY ON OUR
WEBSITE, %
VOTEHEALTH2020.COM.
IF YOU’RE %
HEADING TO THE %
POLLS, WE WOULD %
LIKE YOU TO %
THINK ABOUT, YOU %
NEED TO PLAN %
AHEAD A LITTLE %
BIT THIS YEAR.
AND WHAT WE %
WOULD SAY IS IF %
YOU WANT, YOU %
STILL HAVE TIME %
TO GET YOUR %
BALLOT, YOUR %
ABSENTEE BALLOT, %
AND HAVE THAT %
MAILED IN. %
THERE ARE PEOPLE %
WHO ARE IN YOUR %
COMMUNITIES WHO %
ARE ACTUALLY %
WANTING TO DRIVE %
PEOPLE TO THE %
BALLOT BOX IF %
THEY DO NOT HAVE %
TRANSPORTATION. %
SO I WOULD CALL
YOUR ELECTED
ELECTION BOARD %
TO ACTUALLY FIND %
OUT WHO IS SORT %
OF ORGANIZING %
THOSE THINGS IN %
YOUR %
COMMUNITIES. %
AND IF YOU %
DECIDE THAT YOU %
ARE GOING TO GO %
TO A POLLING %
STATION, WHAT WE %
ASK IS FOR FOLKS %
TO THINK THROUGH %
A PHASED VOTING %
PLAN.
MASK UP, STAY %
SOCIALLY %
DISTANT, WASH %
YOUR HANDS %
BEFORE AND AFTER %
YOU ARE VOTING. %
USE HAND %
SANITIZER. %
WE WANT PEOPLE %
TO KNOW THAT WE %
ARE CONCERNED %
ABOUT THEIR
PLANS AND WHAT %
WE ARE WANTING %
TO DO IS HELP %
PEOPLE COME UP %
WITH THOSE TYPES %
OF PLANS THAT %
MAKE IT WORK FOR %
THEM AND THEIR %
FAMILIES.
>> LET’S TALK %
ABOUT THE IMPACT %
COVID-19 IS %
HAVING ON %
MINORITIES IN %
OUR COUNTRY. %
ACCORDING TO THE %
CDC, TWO THIRDS %
OF THE CHILDREN %
IN THE U.S. WHO %
HAVE DIED OF THE %
CORONAVIRUS WERE %
EITHER BLACK, %
HISPANIC, OR %
NATIVE AMERICAN. %
THIS PANDEMIC HAS
LAID BARE SO %
MANY OF THE %
SOCIOECONOMIC %
AND HEALTHCARE %
INJUSTICES IN
OUR COUNTRY AND %
IT IS A PANDEMIC %
THAT DOES NOT %
LOOK LIKE IT IS %
GOING AWAY SOON. %
HOW DO WE COURSE %
CORRECT THIS? %
WHAT CAN WE DO %
RIGHT NOW TO %
IMPROVE THE %
STATISTICS. %
SO THAT SIX %
MONTHS FROM NOW, %
WE ARE NOT
SEEING %
MINORITIES GET %
SICK AND DIE AT %
SUCH ALARMING %
RATES? %
>> YEAH, SO %
HERE’S THE %
THING, RIGHT?
IS THAT COVID %
REALLY
HIGHLIGHTED ALL %
OF THE THINGS %
THAT ARE JUST %
BROKEN IN OUR %
HEALTHCARE %
SYSTEM. %
WE KNOW THAT, %
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE %
OF COLOR AND %
FAMILIES AND %
CHILDREN OF %
COLOR HAVE BEEN %
DYING AT
DISPROPORTIONATE %
RATES PRE-%
TRAN10. %
COVID JUST MADE %
IT SO MUCH MORE
HIGHLIGHTED. %
AND IT IS STILL
ATROCIOUS. %
SO WHAT WE NEED %
TO DO TO COURSE %
CORRECT IS %
ACTUALLY %
UNDERSTAND THAT %
THIS IS %
STRUCTURAL.
THE STRUCTURE OF %
OUR SOCIETY FOR %
HEALTH WAS BUILT
BROKEN. %
SO IT NEVER %
ACTUALLY REALLY %
WAS DESIGNED TO %
REALLY THINK
THROUGH %
RESILIENCY AND %
COMMUNITIES TO %
BE HEALTHY. %
SO AT THIS POINT %
IN TIME, THIS IS %
OUR OPPORTUNITY %
TO ACTUALLY GET %
OUR VOICES %
HEARD. %
SO IF YOU ARE
WORRIED ABOUT
YOUR COMMUNITIES %
NOT HAVING %
GROCERY STORES, %
TO FEED YOUR %
COMMUNITIES, YOU %
ARE WORRIED %
ABOUT NOT HAVING
GREEN SPACES, %
SAFE SPACES, %
HAVING ACCESS TO %
HEALTHCARE. %
ALL OF THESE %
THINGS ACTUALLY %
ARE A PART OF %
HEALTH, AND SO %
WE NEED TO %
REDEFINE HEALTH %
HAS REALLY %
THINKING ABOUT
THE POLICIES %
THAT AFFECT %
PEOPLE’S HEALTH. %
WHERE THEY %
BREATHE, WHERE %
THEY WERE, PLAY,
PRAY, AND SO %
THIS IS ACTUALLY
A WAY TO THINK %
THROUGH THE %
COURSE %
CORRECTION IS %
THINKING ABOUT %
HEALTH IN ALL %
POLICIES, AND %
THE FIRST STEP %
TO DO THAT IS %
GETTING YOUR %
VOICE HEARD. %
AGAIN, ELECTED %
OFFICIALS DO NOT %
LISTEN TO PEOPLE %
WHO DO NOT VOTE. %
AND SO THIS IS %
OUR CHANCE TO %
GET OUR VOICES %
HEARD, IN %
SOCIETY. %
I WANT TO ALSO %
STRESS THAT
PHYSICIANS ARE
ALSO PART OF THE %
PROBLEM. %
WE DO NOT VOTE
AND MORE THAN %
ANYTHING, THIS
YEAR ESPECIALLY %
WITH COVID, HAS %
SHOWN THAT
PEOPLE ARE %
LISTENING TO OUR
VOICES. %
SO WE NEED TO %
ALSO BE A PART %
OF THE PROCESS
IN GETTING OUR %
VOICES HEARD, %
AND THIS IS A %
WAY AND A CHANCE
TO HOLD
DEMOCRACY %
ACCOUNTABLE.
>> I CAN’T THANK %
YOU ENOUGH FOR %
COMING ON, THESE %
ARE SERIOUS %
ISSUES, BUT YOU %
DEAL WITH THEM
WITH SUCH %
POSITIVITY AND %
ENTHUSIASM, IT %
IS GREAT TO SEE,
