Backbone Campaign supported the Stop Raiding Our Medicare rally on the Anniversary of Medicare, at the Federal Building in downtown Seattle.
Stop Raiding our Medicare!
The Rally featured speeches by Rep. Pramila Jayapal and Teresa Mosqueda, as well as music by Jim Page.
Gratefully, our Builder's Guild had refurbished our vulture props, to represent corporate vultures profiteering from our publicly funded Medicare Trust Fund. We also provided banners, to deliver the message loud and clear: "Hands off our Medicare!"
