[Platform] Urgent Fwd: [adcom] Fwd: will your organization sponsor June 19 action in Boston to protest waste by private health insurance industry?

[Gracegrnrnbw at aol.com]

Merelice - I did see your email and sent the flier a while ago (changed the 
title to show it was a different email).

This is part of a national dayof action, so "local" means Massachusetts I 
suspect - 

As for signing off - this action is being called by the par tof the labor 
movement committed to single-payer - why is everyone so worried?

thanks, Grace
