65] – Taking Neighbors to Court, a recent report by the AFL-CIO,
National Nurses United, and the Coalition for a Humane Hopkins, investigated
the medical debt collection practices at Johns Hopkins Hospital. The report
found that since 2009, Johns Hopkins Hospital has filed more than 2,400
lawsuits in Maryland seeking the repayment of medical debt from former
patients, including the hospital's own employees. The highest density of these
lawsuits cluster in the neighborhood closest to the hospital, and are
disproportionately impacting low-income patients of color. The hospital's use
of wage and property garnishment has put many patients at risk of further
financial hardship, and contributed to numerous bankruptcy cases.
Johns Hopkins Hospital receives millions of dollars in tax exemptions to
provide charity care to low-income patients -- and they deserve better. MCRC is
a member of the Coalition for a Humane Hopkins which is calling on Hopkins to stop
suing patients and their families for medical debt, and respect their own
Registered Nurses' right to organize.
The Humane
Hopkins Coalition's research and outreach effort will lay the groundwork for
MCRC's advocacy and policy work surrounding medical debt issues in
Annapolis next session. Until then, you can join efforts by attending a Sat.,
July 20 Rally from 2 to 3:30 PM on North Broadway between New Orleans and
Monument Streets (in front of the Dome). Register at this link: bit.ly/JHHRally. Visit https://www.facebook.com/events/689078054861926/.

71] – The Trump Administration is again
beating the war drums. Most recently, the target is Iran. Should
the Trump administration initiate an act of war against Iran, consider joining
us. It is a violation of U.S. law for the Trump Administration to attack a country that
has not attacked us, as only Congress can declare war. The Trump administration
is nevertheless beating the war drums for war against Iran and Venezuela.
Should a war criminal, John Bolton, convince Trump to attack either of these
countries, such a military strike would demand an immediate and unequivocal
response from us to show that we will not tolerate his abuse of power.
Let's mobilize to show that we the
people will not tolerate another military adventure, which would be bound
to have profound negative consequences. If a military strike against Iran
or Venezuela takes place, then meet at 33rd and N.
Charles St., Baltimore 21218. If the attack is before 2 PM local
time, then the event will begin at 5 PM, local time. If the attack
occurs after 5 PM local time, then the event will begin at 5 PM,
local time, the following day. Contact Max at 410-323-1607 or
mobuszewski2001 at Comcast dot net.

74] -- Join an extraordinary global campaign for the
elimination of nuclear weapons: http://www.globalzero.org/sign-declaration.
A growing group of leaders around the world is calling for the elimination of
nuclear weapons and a majority of the global public agrees. This is an
historic window of opportunity. With momentum already building in favor
of Zero, a major show of support from people around the world could tip the
balance. When it comes to nuclear weapons, one is one too many.
