37 Arrested for Asking for Healthcare

By Kevin Zeese

We had a pretty big day today in the Mobilization for Health Care. Hundreds of people protested in ten cities, 73 risked arrest and 37 were arrested. We are now over well more than a thousand people demonstrating as part of the Mobilization for Health Care and 118 arrests and triple that risking arrest. We still have nine more Mobilizations between now and next Tuesday. If you are on Facebook I've posted a lot of photographs, videos and news reports on my FB page.

Below is the press so far from today's Mobilizations, no doubt there will be more.
