Blue Cross Blue Shield is being sued as a monopoly after the state found it's been in a conspiracy to restrict access to healthcare. Corporations should not have this much power. We need money out of politics, money in our pockets, and Medicare for All.

If protesting didn't work, would those in power be doing everything they can right now to vilify protestors and crack down on free speech? Activist and author Annie Leonard offers an important history lesson on why protest is so important — and why it's needed now more than ever.
