The event previously planned for Medford has now been modified!
Due to concerns raised by the smoke in our region, we have decided to modify the rally on Monday, July 30 and make it a virtual rally. Our plan was for ORD2 Indivisible to join Unite Oregon at noon at Vogel Plaza, followed by a march to the offices of our Members of Congress, Jeff Merkley, Ron Wyden and Greg Walden.
Instead, we are asking people to make a short (1-2 minute) video talking about the importance of health care in your life and in the lives of your loved ones, some sort of testimonial. Consider weaving in the impact of knowing that many of our elected officials, including Walden, have been working to take away our coverage.
Another option, should you prefer, is to use this template to write a letter to our MOC’s with your health care testimonials.
Some people are still planning to gather at Vogel Plaza at noon so if you would like, we welcome you to join us or to drop off your letters. The letters will be duplicated and copies will be delivered to the offices of each of our MOC’s.
Additional options, when you have completed your videos and letters, please send copies to us at and/or post them on Facebook Messenger, whichever is easier for you. Our plan is to share the videos and letters as far and wide as we can, reaching out to others so they know how critically important health care and the Medicaid & Medicare programs are in the lives of millions.
