At a press conference in 1966, Martin Luther King stated:

"Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and inhumane."

Sign up if you plan to celebrate part of the MLK holiday with fellow Medicare for All supporters by marching with us in Baltimore City's MLK parade on Jan. 15. 

We'll meet at N. Eutaw Street near State Center at 11:45 a.m.
