“Health care reform is about family values,” Board of Alderman President Lewis Reed told over 1,500 union members, community leaders and activists at an Organizing for America (OFA) health care rally August, 30. “I can’t think of anything more critical than the health of our families,” he said.

OFA’s rally is part of nationwide bus tour to refocus the health care debate and build momentum for the public option before Congress reconvenes.
