Seven Days in June: HEALTH IS PRIMARY is a decentralized, nonpartisan, grassroots-driven campaign from June 1-7, 2026,  to expose and fight back against these cuts and their devastating impact on our healthcare infrastructure.  Health cuts kill, and communities across America – from rural towns to large cities – are already paying the price. There are over 100 events across about 25 states. 

The organizations partnering for Seven Days in June – including UNITE HERE, AFL-CIO, SEIU, American Federation of Teachers, Families USA, American Public Health Association, Defend Public Health, Metropolitan Community Churches, NMAC, National Nurses United, National Public Health Coalition, Save HIV Funding, Vivent Health, AIDS United, and Pride at Work – represent millions of Americans who demand answers.

These people-powered organizations are joined by entertainers Noah Wyle, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Marc Anthony, who are amplifying our call to action: Health is not partisan. HEALTH IS PRIMARY

How You Can Help       
	•	Host/Register Your Events: Register your hosted event. During the week of June 1-7, we need town halls, panel discussions, forums, demonstrations, marches, rallies, vigils, and AIDS Memorial Quilt displays. Approved events will be added to a national interactive event map. 

	•	Recruit & Activate: Bring others into the campaign. Reach out to faith leaders, advocates, local healthcare heroes, community leaders, and elected officials. If an organization is already organizing a similar event, encourage them to register it so it can be added to our national event calendar.  

	•	Amplify through social media and communications. Use this toolkit and your social channels, newsletters, emails, websites, media contacts, to build awareness and drive participation. 

	•	Demand Answers: Use these events to demand clear and specific commitments from local, state, and federal representatives to protect America's health systems.

	•	Join The Candlelight Vigil: At sunset on Friday, June 5, communities everywhere will gather for candlelight vigils to honor those already lost and the millions more whose lives are at risk if funding is not restored. Every endorsing organization and event host is encouraged to participate.

$1 trillion in Medicaid cuts. 15 million people losing coverage. 446 hospitals at risk of closing. 51,000 preventable deaths every year. Congress passed it all. Make them answer for it. June 1-7.
