2. Join The Movement: Host Your Own Screening

WHEN ONE OF US HURTS, ALL OF US HURT. That’s the message in Collateral Damage: Bad Medicine in Tennessee, a compelling 25-minute film by Julie Winokur of Talking Eyes Media. Collateral Damage illustrates the injustice and suffering caused by the single largest Medicaid cuts in history. This film intimately explores the catastrophic impact of cutting 170,000 people from Tennessee’s Medicaid program and the implications of these actions nationwide.

During the week of April 23-30, 2007, people across the State of Tennessee are gathering to screen Collateral Damage to make a call for change. You too can make a difference. People across the country are being invited to host screenings in their communities in solidarity with the people of Tennessee, and with all Americans, who deserve access to affordable health care.

Use this film to educate, agitate & mobilize for universal health care.
