Area Congregations Preach on Health Care for All This Labor Day Weekend
Each Labor Day weekend, in cities across the country, thousands of congregations participate in Labor in the Pulpits / on the Bimah / in the Minbar.
The 2008 Labor in the Pulpits/ on the Bimah/ in the Minbar program concentrated on how the realities of the health care system are impacting thousands of working families in Missouri and on a growing movement of faith and community leaders seeking meaningful healthcare reform called Missouri Healthcare for All. No Missouri worker should lack access to health care, and this year’s program will focus on opportunities to guarantee quality, affordable health care for everyone in Missouri. Jobs with Justice supports the faith and community leaders who founded the Missouri Health Care for All movement, and we encourage all Missourians to join 65 faith, community and labor groups and thousands of individuals by endorsing the principles . Each endorsement makes this movement stronger.
