Healthcare Vigil Planned for Wednesday
“Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in healthcare is the most shocking and inhumane”.
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
With the health, and even the lives of under- and uninsured Americans still threatened, it is time to speak up for our families, friends and neighbors. Join us for this vigil, sponsored by Pax Christi Grand Strand and Five Rivers Friends (Quaker) Meeting with other groups invited to endorse as well.
Where: Chapin Park, Myrtle Beach
14th Avenue North and Highway 17 business
When: Wednesday, September 2nd
6 pm-7 pm
Please note: This is intended as a vigil, and not a protest. The City of Myrtle Beach has been informed of our plans.
Signs should have a positive message for change and shouting and debating are not appropriate. Bring candles if you choose. Many of us believe that the Pub lic Option component, as it is currently presented, will not be adequate. Some of us would like an opportunity to prayerfully witness our concern about healthcare, focusing on Dr. King’s words. Some of us are long time supporters of John Conyers’ Enhanced Medicare for All legislation, and endorse H.R. 676, along with 86 members of the House. Join us for this solemn occasion.
