This past Thursday, July 6th, hundreds of people across the US participated in sit-ins at senators' offices to stand up against Trumpcare. Columbus activists joined in the national action by sitting in at Portman's local office with these demands:
1) That Senator Portman host a public town hall to discuss the healthcare bill with his constituents.
2) That he make a clear commitment to vote against the Better Care Reconciliation Act recently introduced in the United States Senate - legislation which would strip millions of people of lifesaving healthcare.
Join Socialist Alternative Columbus and Junto Remains Unsilenced to call on Senator Portman to discuss the Senate healthcare bill with constituents on Tuesday, July 11th at 6:30pm at the Ohio Statehouse.

It’s working! Now we need you to bring this home and protect our care.
We’ve delayed a vote on the disastrous health care bill in the Senate. Combined, our calls, letters and protests are being heard. Now, we can do something to stop Trumpcare altogether. Come knock on doors to build our power and mobilize fellow Ohioans to take action against this dreadful bill.

Senator Portman's office, 37 W. Broad St.
Activists are mobilizing across the country to stop the GOP healthcare bill in its tracks. On Thursday, July 6th—during the 4th of July recess when Senators return to their home states—there will be sit-ins at Senate offices across the country demanding Republican Senators vote NO on the bill.
The so-called “Better Care Reconciliation Act” introduced in the Senate would take away health insurance from 22 million working, poor, and disabled Americans, gut Medicaid by almost $800 billion, and provide a massive tax cut for the wealthiest 2% of the population. The passage of this bill means that thousands of middle-class and poor people will die so that the rich can get richer.
Inspired by ADAPT’s courageous nonviolent sit-ins last week targeting Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, we believe greater nonviolent direct action is called for to elevate the impact and unpopularity of the healthcare bill within the media and to pressure Republican Senators to vote NO on the bill.
