ADAPT/PACT joined Texas Alliance for Retired Americans, Texans for Bernie 2020, Del Valle Community Coalition on the morning of July 30th to celebrate Medicare’s 55th birthday and to promote Medicaid expansion in Texas.

Thirty individuals and twenty-five vehicles attended the caravan. We all enjoyed decorating our vehicles to prepare for the caravan as we social distanced with our donned mask.

We drove from Huston-Tillotson University to the Governor’s Mansion then to the Capitol to send a message to Governor Abbott that Texans want Medicaid expansion.

Texas has the highest rate of uninsured adults and children in the country and this was our chance to advocate for all-inclusive HealthCare that covers everyone. We all had a great time honking loud and proud as we drove past the Governor’s Mansion and the Capitol several times. Upon finishing we returned to Huston-Tillotson and called it a day.

  

Healthcare For All!
