Over 100 people gathered outside Mayo Clinic Health System in Eau Claire on May 20 to protest the healthcare votes that threaten rural hospitals across Wisconsin. The rally was covered by WEAU, the Leader-Telegram, FOX, and Civic Media.

Speakers included healthcare workers, patients, and community members who shared what losing access to care would mean for their families. The message was clear: the votes to gut Medicaid are a direct threat to the hospitals, clinics, and emergency rooms our communities depend on.

When 100 people show up on a Tuesday afternoon, people are paying attention.
