January 13, 2018 – Medicaid Expansion Campaign Boise Kick-Off Event

Posted on by

Join the Boise/Ada team for the campaign to get Medicaid Expansion on the 2018 ballot so 78,000 Idahoans currently “in the gap” can get the healthcare they need. At this Kick-Off event, Medicaid for Idaho will provide volunteers with training, food/drink, petitions & supplies. After training, volunteers will join District Leaders and walk to targeted households in neighborhoods near the Cathedral of the Rockies to gather signatures, then return to debrief, get petitions notarized & sign up for future canvassing dates/locations in districts 14 through 21.

Reclaim Idaho’s Luke Mayville will be on hand to kick off the Campaign and fire up volunteers, with help from the Idaho Peace Band.

Please bring your smartphone or iPad/tablet if you have one, as we will be using aps to map out targeted households, check to make sure people are registered to vote before signing the petitions and to register voters on the spot, if desired. Dress warm & wear comfortable walking shoes/boots.

Info on the campaign and petitions can be found at MedicaidForIdaho.org.

Please RSVP for the Jan. 13 Kick-Off to Sam Sandmire – samsandmireidaho@gmail.com or Tracy Olson – 1cleverchick@gmail.com so we know how many volunteers to expect.

Please share this event on your Facebook Timeline and invite your friends. Please invite members of your progressive groups/Huddles/organizations. To be successful, we are going to need LOTS of volunteers. Thank you for helping spread the good word!

PS-If you want to get a head start before the Kick-Off, go to MedicaidForIdaho.org and download & print petitions. Read the instructions carefully, then please DO take petitions to gatherings of your family & friends/book club/church/social events/etc. and gather signatures of registered voters in Ada County. Please do not canvass door-to-door until after the Jan. 13 training.
