SUMMARY:Seven Days in June: Health is Primary
DESCRIPTION:The health of Americans is on the ballot in 2026. Medical research\, affordable access to healthcare and treatment\, and strong public health systems are fundamental to our quality of life\, economic stability\, workforce strength and national security. Health is not a niche issue. It touches every person\, family\, employer\, community and local economy.When health systems are underfunded or destabilized\, people suffer\, families are driven into bankruptcy\, communities lose services and the nation becomes less prepared for the next crisis. Gutting global health infrastructure exacerbates political instability and threatens U.S. security interests. This weakens our nation’s global influence and does nothing to reduce the federal deficit.Seven Days in June: HEALTH IS PRIMARY is a decentralized\, nonpartisan\, grassroots-driven campaign to focus local media attention on how funding cuts\, as well as policy and regulatory changes\, will devastate local communities. ~ Excerpted from the national campaign fact sheet\, which is available for download at www.sevendaysinjune.orgThe full campaign runs from June 1 to June 7\, and Chicagoland efforts are being coordinated by Morten Group.As a participant in this campaign\, PHIMC invites you to join Chicago area coalition partners for a CANDLELIGHT VIGIL at the AIDS Garden Chicago from 7:30pm to sunset to honor all those already lost to illness\, inequity\, and inadequate care — and to stand in solidarity with the millions more whose lives depend on restored funding. In the event of rain\, the vigil will move to the Center on Halsted. RSVP to the Chicagoland Candlelight Vigil at bit.ly/7days-vigil
