It was a sunny Saturday in Southwest PA on June 21st. The Nonviolent Medicaid Army warriors Barbara, Rica, Beni, Joe, Melanie, and Wendy gathered at Crawford Village in McKeesport to base build. This team was ready to bring in new people and get them involved in the movement to end poverty. 

Wendy was able to assist a new contact with making an application for Medicaid. Melanie gathered name and contact information for future events & follow up. Rica did blood pressure readings for those interested. Finally, the three newest members also wrote out our Medicaid & healthcare stories to share on Facebook as part of Medicaid Mondays. It was a great day at Crawford Village!

Rica and Barbara had distributed flyers a couple days before, having conversations with people about the healthcare crisis we’re in. We plan to return to Crawford Village for their Community Day in July, since this is a promising location to connect with our people!
