No Cuts - Raise Revenue Rally with Health Care is a Human Right - WA
2025-04-02 12:30 - 13:30 | North Capitol Steps, 416 Sid Snyder Ave SW,, Olympia, WA, 98504, United States
We, the Health Care Is a Human Right WA coalition, made up of 40 organizations, are united in our demand: No cuts to essential services and no balancing of the budget on the backs of the vulnerable. We are committed to ensuring that health care is a fundamental right, not a privilege reserved for the wealthy. The ongoing budget cuts and delays in achieving universal coverage are harming our community.
Impact of Cuts.
The federal cuts have already begun to hit hard. Many of Washington’s programs, such as Medicaid, cancer screenings, and other vital services, are funded by the federal government. As these programs face significant reductions or potential loss, we need to strengthen our state’s ability to fund and sustain these services independently. We cannot afford to rely on a federal government that continues to prioritize the wealthy over the needs of its citizens.
Increasing Revenue
Washington needs to support itself and build a sustainable, equitable future. This includes revisiting tax breaks for big businesses and ensuring that those who can afford to contribute more do so, so that the burden of essential services does not fall solely on the poor and middle class.
Featured Speakers include:

Patty Kuderer Washington’s Insurance Commissioner, will speak to the critical need for universal health coverage, highlight the importance of achieving single-payer uhc reform at the state level, how we can get there, how advocates can support that goal, and the impact of the threatened Federal Medicaid cuts on our reform efforts in WA.
Vicki Lowe, Executive Director of the American Indian Health Commission of WA. The cuts to both federal and state budgets disproportionately harm Native Americans who already face significant healthcare challenges. Dismantling of federal agencies.

These communities must not be further neglected in the push for budgetary cuts. There will be time at the end of the hour for attendees to share their stories. Join us!

Power to Heal - Movie Night- Celebration of Juneteenth
2025-06-16 18:00 - 19:30 | ZOOM
Whole Washington is proud to host an online screening of Power to Heal June 16th @6pm in celebration of Junteenth!
About the film:
POWER TO HEAL is an hour-long public television documentary that tells a poignant chapter in the historic struggle to secure equal and adequate access to healthcare for all Americans. Central to the story is the tale of how a new national program, Medicare, was used to mount a dramatic, coordinated effort that desegregated thousands of hospitals across the country in a matter of months.
Before Medicare, disparities in access to hospital care were dramatic. Less than half the nation’s hospitals served black and white patients equally, and in the South, 1/3 of hospitals would not admit African-Americans even for emergencies.
Using the carrot of Medicare dollars, the federal government virtually ended the practice of racially segregating patients, doctors, medical staffs, blood supplies and linens. POWER TO HEAL illustrates how Movement leaders and grass-roots volunteers pressed and worked with the federal government to achieve justice and fairness for African–Americans.
Through the voices of the men and women who experienced disparities and fought against them, POWER TO HEAL will introduce a broad, prime-time national audience on PBS to a missing link in the Civil Rights Movement — a struggle over healthcare from a half-century ago, that raises questions that resonate today: is healthcare a human right? Must the federal government intervene to ensure equality?
