Who are we anyway? THREAD:This group is 100% volunteer, FREE & run by 6 women (with one very amazing & constant assist by @charles_gaba). 1/

3 of us had the privilege to meet in DC at the @voxdotcom interview w/ @BarackObama in January '17. Why? Because we were real people ...2/

with real healthcare stories. We became friends through social media advocacy groups and met others of the same ilk. We've called & ... 3/

written our MOC's, spoken at rallies and advocacy events and marched. We've formed a respectful system that buoys each other ... 4/

and educates each other. We're into learning, teaching, listening and sharing. And with all of our #ACA stories shared, our founder ... 5/

thought we needed to do something to keep #ACA #OpenEnrollment in the brains of everyone, no matter how many times we #killedthebill. ... 6/

She knew where things were gonna get sticky. And here we are.

Our goal is simple: Raise awareness of #ACA #OE via social media. ... 7/

So we started created graphics that would serve that purpose. And then our people wanted more. What if we want to hang something at ... 8/

the grocery store bulletin board? Or drop flyers off at the dog groomers? So we made b/w flyers. drive.google.com/drive/folders/… 9/

But what about other languages? So we created Spanish flyers (and we're working on other languages as I type): drive.google.com/drive/folders/… 10/

And what if we want to actually knock on doors & help people sign up?

Ummm...

Then we did cartwheels when @GetUSCovered launched ... 11/

their campaign (getamericacovered.org ) because they had some resources we just don't have.

But we grew and grew and grew and ... 12/

(I'm NAILING the sequencing right now, BTW) 13/

And here we are. We have organized 40 state groups on our Facebook page (Indivisible ACA Signup Project), many of whom are launching ... 14/

their state-specific campaigns. We have amazing followers and people who are just helping us spread the word. AMAZING! 15/

So we're in a good place to let you know, we appreciate your messages, your RT's & your support of these Thunderclap campaigns ... 16/

some of which may seem redundant or annoying. But in just 3 campaigns, we've reached 8 million people. With your ongoing help, we can ...17/

reach more. Small catch: you have to click the link & then keep clicking and allowing permission for us to post ONE message ONE time ...18/

on your wall/feed. It's not a once & done thing. You have 2 sign up for each Thunderclap. It's always free. It NEVER spams your friends. 19/

But it's working. We're one note, but okay with that. We're advocating outside of this page, too. 20/

Find us on FB at Saving Affordable Health Insurance if you want to do more than promote #ACA #OE. Please remember... we're providing ... 21/

tools (graphics and links to other resources) for people who want promote #ACA #OE -- nationally or locally. We aren't territorial. ... 22/

because we know it's gonna take a lot of us to pick up what 45 dropped. We hope to not be needy. But sometimes, we are. A big risk ... 23/

pool with lots of healthy & young people makes ACA work.

So we're motivated.

I hope this explains our mission for our new followers...24/

And because it'd be weird if I did this thread w/out some shameless self promotion: thunderclap.it/projects/62830…
Gotta click it, sign it, RT 25/

If you read through this beast, thank you. Graphics in MORE languages and a web site coming soon.

Time to make dinner.

Peace! END
