SUMMARY:The Right to Heal VA Campaign (RTH) at Jesse Brown VA
DESCRIPTION:The Right to Heal VA Campaign (RTH) is calling on all veterans that care about saving the VA to join us tomorrow at a hearing on VA privatization and why it is not the solution. At the hearing we will make a call to action and announce an informational picket and press conference at Federal Plaza on Friday.  Details below. \nCall to Action & Workers’ Rights Board Hearing\nWhere: Conference Room\, Second Floor\, Damen Building\nJesse Brown VA\, 820 S Damen Ave\, Chicago\, IL 60612\nWhen: 4:30PM | Thursday\, May 17\, 2018\nRSVP by mailing Right to Heal <RightToHealVA@gmail.com> or join the event on Facebook \nOn May 17th\, join us as the Right to Heal Campaign announces a call to action and next steps in the fight to unite veterans and VA workers to save the VA and fight back against privatization. After the announcement the Workers’ Rights Board will hold a hearing to discuss what VA privatization would mean for veterans. The hearing will feature experts in the field of VA care\, veterans speaking to their experience of using both the VA and the private sector\, and VA employees who have dedicated their lives to serving veterans. \nSave The VA Press Conference and Informational Picket\nWhere: Federal Center and Plaza\, 219 S Dearborn St\, Chicago\, Illinois 60603\nWhen: 10AM | Friday\, May 18\, 2018\nRSVP by mailing Right to Heal <RightToHealVA@gmail.com> or join the event on Facebook \nThe Save The VA Coalition and the Right To Heal VA Campaign will be holding an emergency press conference and informational picket to oppose H.R. 5674. The bill backed by the Trump adminstration and the Koch front group\, Concerned Veterans of America would expand private healthcare vouchers at the expense of the VA healthcare system and give unprecedented powers to the VA secretary to make drastic changes\, including authority to outsource/privatize services of VA healthcare without oversight or congressional approval. \nWith the firing of VA Secretary David Shulkin for not advancing a privatization agenda quickly enough and with continued disarray within the Trump administration in finding a replacement for Shulkin\, we believe it is the worst possible time to give Trump such powers to change VA healthcare. We will be demanding that Senator Duckworth and Durbin hold the line against these terrible bills and vote no on these bills and other efforts to privatize the VA. \nRSVP by emailing Right to Heal <RightToHealVA@gmail.com> or join the events on Facebook Right to Heal Hearing at the Jesse Brown VA & Save the VA Press Conference at Federal Plaza. \nVeterans & VA Workers\nUnited to Save the VA!
