Sunday – 06/23/2024 – ONLINE – Taking Advantage: How corporate health insurers harm America’s seniors (5:00 pm) 
“Delays. Denials. Unexpected out-of-pocket costs.
Everywhere people with so-called “Medicare Advantage” plans turn, they encounter barriers to the care they need—and the care their physicians have prescribed.
Join us to learn about the many ways that corporate health insurers harm seniors and people with disabilities—and how YOU can fight back. Our program includes:
* Sen. Elizabeth Warren urging advocates (and her fellow legislators) to stand up and reclaim Medicare as a public program
* Dr. Ed Weisbart presenting a new report on the harm caused by Medicare Advantage corporations, researched by Physicians for a National Health Program
* Personal stories of patients and physicians who have been harmed by Medicare Advantage corporations We’ll also have suggestions on how YOU can take action to end the abuses of corporate health insurance, dramatically improve the traditional Medicare program, and put the U.S. on a path to a Medicare-for-All system that brings everybody in and leaves nobody out.
Register as a Physician, Heal worker, or advocate (that’s most of us) here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_wdkANY-6RCKu3PjtA29iRgMonday – 06/24/2024 – VENTURA – USA Women’s Strike (12:00 pm -2:00 pm) Ventura County Government Center, corner of Victoria and Telegraph.
Join Justice For All Ventura County and Indivisible Ventura on the 2nd anniversary of the Dobbs decision in the Supreme Court. We gather to protest, to support one another, and to let our representatives know that we do not accept the current state of reproductive rights in the U.S. Women’s Marchers across the country are striking, are not spending any money, and not performing labor on this day to protest our rights being rolled back.

POSTCARDS/PHONEBANKS
VENTURA’S POSTCARD BRIGADE is now the VENTURA COUNTY POSTCARD BRIGADE!!!
Sheila at Runisbliss@aol.com will be taking over postcarding coordination for a county-wide effort!
You will be getting email(s) from her setting out the procedure going forward. Debby will continue to help with delivering and mailing packets to the writers, and for Ventura residents, her front porch will continue to be the pick up location. Contact her at ivpostcards@gmail.com for any questions about this changeover.
Please notify us of any changes! We also want to update our writer roster – some people may have moved, some may be dropping out of postcarding, other people may want to get on the roster.
As we move into the 2024 election season, getting our voters out to the polls is even more important than it was before. Get out your pens and get ready to write!
Roe Roe Roe the Vote – and resist every damn day!

Making sure people are registered to vote, and that they can vote safely from home, is a super-effective way to make a difference. In 2024, we can flip this seat back to a Democrat.
But we need your help. Join us as we turn voices into votes! All training provided!

Please DONATE to the cause!
Indivisible Ventura is completely volunteer run and your donation will support the direct costs of organizing in Ventura — things like expenses for Swap Meet Justice, posters, art supplies, stamps, transportation, and more! Although we’ve defeated Trump and taken back the Senate, we have to act urgently to save our democracy and enact other desperately needed reforms. Getting it done depends on all of us. Let’s stand together, indivisible. Indivisible Ventura is one of 6,000 grassroots Indivisible groups across the country. Together, we will win. (https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ven383907253)
