This week, faith and moral leaders rose up to resist the egregious assault on health care being led by extremists in the White House and U.S. Congress. While we came from many traditions, we spoke in one voice about the dignity of every human life and the fundamental moral principle that all should have access to consistent, affordable and quality health care.
I met many persons impacted by health care access. I want to especially thank disability justice activist who were the first to initiate civil disobedience, which inspired our activism in Washington.
Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II joins moral activists in Washington D.C. to protest health care repeal efforts by extremists.
For weeks Repairers of the Breach worked alongside impacted persons and D.C. moral activist to organize protest and rallies, which resulted in over 50 arrest. I am writing to thank you for your support in Washington and across the country standing up for health care.
While extremists lost in their effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act, this fight is not over. Until we have a single payer system with universal coverage for all we must keep organizing. The fight for access to care is a fight for the soul of America.
We cannot turn back now. Thank you for everything you do to support this movement.
Forward Together, not one step back!
Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II
