Intended as a rally against Trumpcare, the gathering became a victory celebration of sorts and a reminder that many battles lie ahead even as the Graham-Cassidy healthcare bill was declared dead just hours earlier.
Community Die-In for Rep. John Rutherford
Representative John Rutherford (FL-4) voted to take away healthcare from more than 24 million Americans, including tens of thousands of his own constituents. Americans of every stripe — neighbors and friends, old and new, from all over Jacksonville and nearby communities — came together for a die-in highlighting the very real human cost of his vote in favor of Trumpcare.
In case you missed the event, be sure to contact Rep. Rutherford directly to let him know that his votes have consequences, and that voting against the health and well-being of his constituents is never okay.

Americans of every stripe — neighbors and friends, old and new, from all over Jacksonville and nearby communities — came together for a die-in highlighting the very real human cost of Congressman Rutherford’s vote in favor of Trumpcare.
