Please join us to promote health care for all in Michigan as we at ICPJ begin our involvement with the Michigan Health Care Security Campaign!

This November, Michigan voters will have an opportunity to vote on a constitutional amendment to improve statewide health care accessibility. The ballot proposal would require the Michigan legislature to develop a ‘Health Care Security’ plan that would protect Michigan citizens and business from a spiraling health care crisis. For more information, find the answers to frequently asked questions about the campaign or visit the Health Care for Michigan website.

ICPJ will be working with other local and statewide organizations to educate Michigan voters about this ballot proposal and to advocate for its support. We need your help! Please consider the following options for getting involved:

1) Volunteer on MLK Day (1/21/08) to collect signatures - Spend a few hours circulating the Michigan Health Care Security Campaign petition at MLK Day events in your community. (Email gracek@icpj.net)

2) Join us for our first Michigan Health Care Security Campaign volunteer meeting - Thursday, January 24th, at 7pm at Memorial Christian Church (730 Tappan, Ann Arbor, MI 48104).

3) Volunteer to offer organizational/administrative support - Help us to create materials, compile information, and undertake other necessary tasks to promote the Michigan Health Care Security Campaign at a time convenient for you. (Email gracek@icpj.net)
