Get Involved with Birddog Nation and League of Heroes

In early 2017, a national network of thousands of birddoggers—people who put sustained public pressure on elected officials to take action—came together to help defeat the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Two years and 170+ birddog trainings later, Birddog Nation has won scores of important commitments from their local electeds to support a healthcare system that guarantees high-quality, low-cost health coverage for everyone and brings an end to the terrible HIV pandemic.

If you are interested in participating in this work, Birddog Nation invites you to join their weekly calls on Tuesdays at 8:30pm ET. The call-in number is 1-669-900-6833, with meeting room code 2510128015.

League of Heroes is a community of citizen activists fighting to save our democracy. It began in 2017 when activist Ady Barkan confronted then-U.S. Senator Jeff Flake (AZ), asking him to be a hero and vote to save healthcare benefits for millions of Americans. Instead, Congress chose to put Medicare and other programs at risk so it could cut taxes for corporations and the wealthiest families in America. Now we need you to help continue the fight. Will you be a hero by joining us to defend our democracy and fight for working people?

League of Heroes’ weekly calls take place on Thursdays at 8pm ET. The call-in number is 1-669-900-6833, with meeting room code 2510128015.
