See ALT text for details. Come out to Norwalk this Saturday! We need folks to bring speakers to play music and folks willing to lead chants on the megaphone! facebook.com/events/s/hea...

We will gather on Saturday, October 4 12-2 PM at Suhr Park (35 W Main St, Norwalk) to advocate for Healthcare Not Billionaires.

Many of us will face medical bankruptcy, while billionaires get tax cuts.

This is a peaceful protest against the “Big Beautiful (Brutal) Bill” and a request that our legislators negotiate a bipartisan agreement to take care of average people, not the ultra wealthy.

Come out and share your feelings about the billionaires hoarding everything in this country while we lose what little access to healthcare we have left! Bring signs!

A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
