Tom Steyer Phone Bank

The crowded California gubernatorial primary is approaching in just 2 weeks on Tuesday, June 2nd!

Nurses are supporting Tom Steyer for Governor, fueled by his unequivocal support for a national and state single-payer health care system, as well as his commitment to ending corporate control over politics and working people’s lives, taxing billionaires and corporations, and protecting our democracy.

Will you help us get out the vote in these final days for a health care champion by signing up to make calls as part of our Nurses for Tom Steyer Phone Bank from 5 – 7 PM in Oakland on Wednesday, May 27th?

Right now, tens of millions of ballots are still with California voters. As of last week, only 2 percent of mail-in ballots have been submitted.¹ The low return rate suggests that most voters are still undecided and waiting to see how polls shake out.

Meanwhile, corporate interests are spending big against Steyer to the tune of $24.5 million.² Why? Because corporations are terrified of being held accountable by his administration.

And recently, it was reported that Steyer’s opponent, Xavier Becerra, stated behind closed doors to the California Medical Association (CMA) that now was not the time for a single-payer system like CalCare.³ This is disappointing, but can’t be ignored alongside the fact that CMA endorsed Becerra and is now spending at least $500,000 to help get him elected.^4,5

Health care is without a doubt the biggest issue in this race, and who we elect to serve as our next governor will play a major role in how fast Californians can achieve the universal, single-payer system we deserve.

Let’s do everything we can in these last two weeks to support Steyer and send him to the general election in November: sign up now to join the phone bank on May 27th!

The more calls we make, the more voters we can turn out to elect a single-payer health care supporter as governor of California.

In solidarity,
