The progressive left is creating a lot of space for Nancy Pelosi to take on corporate donors, centrist obstructionists in the Democratic Party, and Republicans if she needs to triangulate now between democratic socialism and the Blue Dogs. — PolitiTweet.org

In 1984 and 1988, Jesse Jackson -- one of the leaders in the SCLC and Martin Luther King the Poor People's Campaign -- campaigned for a single-payer, Medicare for All system. https://t.co/EDcyRPNd4U — PolitiTweet.org

In 1967, King called for a new stage in the civil rights movement: a "Poor People's Campaign" for a new Bill of Rights that provided all Americans the constitutional right to "education, income, a home, recreation, as well as physical and mental health care." https://t.co/XISnTIC0OD — PolitiTweet.org

Martin Luther King's personal physician, Dr. Quentin Young, was one of the leading advocates for a single-payer, Medicare for All system. Young founded the Medical Committee for Human Rights, which sent doctors to treat civil rights workers in the South. https://t.co/tliGr4IvTe — PolitiTweet.org

In 1966, Dr. King joined the Medical Committee for Human Rights to fight for health care as a right. MCHR campaigned for a single-payer system. "Of all the inequalities that exist, the injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhuman,” -MLK. https://t.co/ftJ8qpN7F3 — PolitiTweet.org
