Be A Hero: Organizing for Health Care Justice and a Stronger Democracy with Ady Barkan and Special Guest Senator Bernie Sanders & Mari Cordes
Ady Barkan, an incredible activist who is battling ALS, is touring across the country with a mission and he's coming to Bristol with special guests US Sen. Bernie Sanders & House of Representatives candidate Mari Cordes to stand up for our health care, raising the minimum wage, paid family leave, racial justice, and our country!
Ady is asking you to be a hero, get out and rally, and get out on doors to turn the tide in this year’s midterm elections. Ady famously confronted Senator Jeff Flake last year about his vote on the Republican tax bill, and has continued to tirelessly stand up for our rights to health care, economic security and urge us all to take back our democracy.

Excerpt:
I started working with Ady back in 2013, when in his role at the Center For Popular Democracy (CPD) he was supporting early efforts to win paid sick days in Vermont—which we won in 2016! I found him to be a brilliant strategist who had a strong handle on the big picture of what was important.
He helped start two programs that he directed, Local Progress and the Fed Up Campaign. Local Progress is a powerful network of hundreds of progressive local elected officials from across the country who are committed to advancing economic prosperity, equal justice under law, livable and sustainable communities, and good government that serves the public interest. Fed Up is a national campaign that focuses on two critical issues, pushing for full employment and a reformed Federal Reserve.
I believe Ady is a national treasure. He is using his brilliance and an unbelievable amount of determination to fight for a better country until his last breath. I'm so proud we can help him finish his powerful nationwide Be a Hero tour that started in the West Coast and ends in Northern New England.
In Vermont, come join Ady, special guest Senator Bernie Sanders and hundreds of RAD members across the state to be part of the movements for health care justice and creating a stronger democracy.
