Greek pensioners are getting hit at least 3 ways from Sunday: 1) the healthcare sector is in shambles; 2) their pensions are being cut back; and 3) the VAT tax is decimating their budgets. The 50th anniversary celebration/protests for Medicare in the US are an opportunity for us to make the connections. Lord knows our seniors are in dire straits themselves on the same fronts. Free, socialized healthcare under worker/community control, from the US to Greece! 55 and out retirement at union-scale wages, from America to Athens! (ps concrete solidarity is already under way from nurse unions here, more on that soon. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Andrew Pollack <acpolla...@juno.com> Date: Thu, Jul 16, 2015 at 3:16 PM Subject: opportunity for US-Greece solidarity: Fw: AFL-CIO Endorses July 30 Med icare Actions To: acpolla...@gmail.com ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- From: Mark Dudzic Labor Campaign for Single Payer < organiz...@laborforsinglepayer.org> To: acpolla...@juno.com Subject: AFL-CIO Endorses July 30 Medicare Actions Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2015 19:04:34 +0000 Dear a, We are two weeks away from the *July 30 Celebration of Medicare's 50th Birthday.* Activists will gather in 42 cities in 21 states <http://mailings.actionnetwork.org/mpss/c/3AA/ni0YAA/t.1or/ZUBOfKizST-bjq6TWR4y_Q/h0/e4E9U5TsreWOLomGt-2B16noyRw5QKdlsGQ3gN4rO9d42V9sn0ystbFF3mW-2FTiovRG8GXwHVjOeTWrvY04al0Im6RRxAmJqBVvVMJhwz7HKhPyhIImC1g1oIuzrEQf8UlDh0twI-2F2JYRKVOqM8iTN-2B1XWKX5bgj7AgCdKHzBPIwTeBNMbPg-2BdRbP4TZkhwPMV0Eft8k-2F9anHrOV-2BGJUmFTHVpwMMSIaEI6RsqAH4-2FWywEkDg5e-2ByAwFq4YbD3MFMPV6MpGHqFBSk-2BMM2EUU5Viq8DLdZmm1-2FTihIXFQypcKRk-3D> to honor one of our most successful social insurance programs and to call on the American people to work to *Protect *it, *Improve *it and *Expand * it.
