Making Health Care a Civil Rights Issue

The country’s largest African-American and Latino organizations are joining forces with other major national civil rights and grassroots organizations to mobilize the nation’s 100 million people of color for a final push in support of universal health care reform. Leaders of the organizations are coming together to make certain that the voices of people of color are heard — and heeded — as the health care reform debate enters its final, critical days. The groups will release television and print ads in English and Spanish that will run in four states with sizable African-American and Latino populations, part of a grassroots effort to ensure that members of Congress appreciate the importance of reform to the people of color they represent.

Here’s the video (apparently the one running in Arkansas, given the reference to Sen. Lincoln):
