Take Action
Care Over Cost got started because in state after state, People’s Action Institute organizers hear stories of people not being able to receive or afford the care they need because their health insurance won’t pay!
Take action and fight back here: Ppls.ac/stopdenyingcare! You’ve seen photos and videos from the nonviolent, democratic, and productive actions we’re led in the past. You’ve read press releases, news stories, editorials, blogs, social media posts, and scholarly articles and white papers about the ways in which we have organized and won in the past. Now, it’s time to take our movement to the next level. Americans know that this is bigger than any politician or political party. We need solutions at the scale of need, and we’re not letting greedy corporations and billionaires, or anyone who is in their pocket and afraid to stand up to them, off the hook! Sign this petition to join us. Start 2025 by getting others to do the same. It’s the first step in winning the change we need!
Below are past petitions, as well as events and volunteers opportunities. Check back often in 2025, as we will be adding new opportunities throughout the year!
