New York, NY – With the Republican vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act expected this week, Organizing for America volunteers in New York City will participate in a phone bank on Tuesday to call downstate Republican Representatives Grimm, Hayworth and King urging them to defend the historic health care legislation.
