(Minneapolis) – June 21, 2018 – Hundreds of activists from throughout the U.S. are marching for healthcare that serves patients, not insurance company profits, in downtown Minneapolis on June 22.

The march begins outside the Radisson Blu at 35 S 7th St. and will proceed on Nicollet Ave. with a brief program at the intersection of 11th and Nicollet before turning the corner and marching back up Marquette.

The march kicks off a national conference on single-payer healthcare that begins Friday evening.

When: 4-6 p.m., Friday, June 22
