Thank you for agreeing to call Senator Portman to stop the secret bill in the Senate! Trumpcare now being renegotiated by the Senate is an assault on healthcare access to the Black community! Trumpcare will give states the option to strip essential health benefits protections from people. These benefits have expanded much-needed access to mental health, addiction, and preventative care. Not only that Trumpcare will strip millions of people from Medicaid!

Introduce yourself and explain the issue:

A couple of tips to keep in mind:

• Be polite and calm. While we might be angry, we need to send a consistent message that can't be twisted to discredit us.
• Stick to the message provided, but feel free to express it in your own words.
• Read the script once or twice before calling, and even practice saying it aloud if you like.
