WHAT: Grassroots Action Event on the first day of the new Health Insurance Marketplaces

WHERE: Georgia State Capitol, 206 Washington St. Atlanta, GA 30334

WHEN:  Tuesday, Oct. 1, 5 p.m. 

The rally will be the culmination of day-long health care information activities.   

In addition to today's events, Organizing for Action will conduct volunteer trainings during the first two weeks of October and continue grassroots action events into the fall and spring. OFA volunteers will be trained to cut through misinformation, answer common questions about the law and guide their neighbors towards resources that will help them get affordable coverage if they need it. The six month enrollment period is a crucial time to help uninsured Georgians get the facts they need to sign up for affordable insurance coverage for themselves and their families - many for the first time.
