It’s a tradition! Kentuckians celebrate Medicare’s July 30 Birthday every year and call for an Improved Medicare for All so that everyone will have healthcare as a birthright.
* A few years ago we lit up the sky at the Big Four Bridge above a concert of thousands.

* We’ve delivered cupcakes to Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul, and John Yarmuth.
* We’ve marched across bridges.
Each time more learn of the wonders and possibilities of a publicly-funded health plan and of the need to enact a national non-profit single payer plan—an Enhanced Medicare for All.
Join us this year as we distribute flyers.
(We’ll also have bumper stickers and petitions.)
There are two opportunities to be a part of it:
1. Sunday, July 28, from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm at 1515 River Shore Drive, Goodbounce Pickleball Court, Louisville, just before the free Will and John Gage Concert that is from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Bring chairs if staying for the concert; food truck is there with food and drinks on sale.
2. Wednesday, July 31, at 5:00 pm as the gates open for a free concert beneath the Big Four Bridge. The concert begins at 6:00 pm. https://www.lpm.org/waterfront-wednesday
