On the Senate healthcare bill, for librarians at ALA 2017

(This started as a tweet thread, wanted it all in one place for linking)

Are you a librarian attending ALA? I urge you to use your airport and mtg downtime to call your Senators abt healthcare #alaac17

Public, academic, school, medical librarians - YOUR PEOPLE are going to lose access to care if the Senate passes this bill

The Senate bill will hurt the most vulnerable people in YOUR USER COMMUNITIES if passed - and everyone who isn’t already rich

So I’m gonna make an offer. If you’re a librarian & need tips or encouragement to call I will personally coach you. DM me. #ALAAC2017 (@rachel_w on twitter, or find me on Facebook - that’s gonna get me faster than a dm on this tumblr)

I will look up your Senators’ name and number w no judgment. I will give you scripts to follow. I will tell you what it’s like to call.

Please just do it, oppose the Senate healthcare bill. However I can help get you over that hump I will do it.

It only takes a minute. You can call both in less than 5 minutes. It’s critically important.

One last thing: if you’re in a red state and think it won’t make a diff please call anyway. They need to know they don’t have support.

I mean I feel you I have Corker & Alexander. I’m still calling, and will work to unseat them for this cruel bill. Show me some solidarity.
