    Outreach Canvassing Sign Up



    The Campaign for New York Health is seeking volunteer organizers to implement a critical piece of our movement building strategy: outreach.

    Through one-on-one Outreach Canvassing throughout the state using the New York Health Access Survey, we are connecting with the non-activists in our communities, inviting them into the fight for universal health care, and we are documenting the ways that New Yorkers struggle with financial barriers to care. 

    Please sign up below to volunteer for Outreach Canvassing in your community and consider stepping up to be an Outreach Canvassing Team leader!

    Outreach Canvassing materials can be found here: http://www.nyhcampaign.org/canvassing

    I signed up to volunteer for the Campaign for New York Health to bring universal healthcare to NYS. Join me!

    Build the movement to WIN guaranteed healthcare for all of us!

    We are at a critical point in the campaign for the NY Health Act – universal, guaranteed healthcare!

    Healthcare costs are hurting everyone as more and more people struggle to get the care they need. This pandemic is affecting people in many different ways. In the face of this crisis, we must keep organizing for the healthcare we need. 

    The NY Health Act is the only plan that will cover everyone and guarantee high quality coverage – including long-term care – at a price we can all afford. To learn more about the NY Health Act, visit nyhcampaign.org/learn

    While the opposition is powerful, we have the people on our side. That's why we need you to pledge to build the movement in New York State at this critical time. We can do this!
