Rally and Vigil for Health Security and Health Care Justice

The Baltimore-based Coalition for Health Security invites you to.....

Come to the Union Baptist Church (historic home of the civil rights
movement: 1219 Druid Hill Ave in Baltimore)
at 6pm on Friday, Sept 26, to a Rally and Vigil for Health Security and
Health Care Justice.

We will be reminded of the connection between health security and other
issues. We will hear exciting plans from legislators and activists, and
we will be inspired by poets and more. We will make a REAL Safety Net
and create our own vision for health security.
