“Echo Events” all across the country will engage advocates who care deeply about this issue but are not able to travel to Washington. Prayer breakfasts, Health Care Sabbaths, sermon contests, vigils, call-in days, media events, and more will give people of faith the opportunity to make a public witness about the moral imperative of health care for all. Individuals and congregations are urged to plan Echo Events or find activities near them in which they can participate.
