Massachusetts set the standard for health care in America, so the Drive for Our Lives bus made a stop in Boston on Wednesday morning to rally Bostonians to #ProtectOurCare.
Mayor Martin J. Walsh, Congressman Joe Kennedy III, and former head of the Office of External Affairs at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Anton Gunn, helped kick off the Drive for Our Lives bus’s last week on the road at a stop at City Hall. At the event, we heard from everyday Bostonians about how the Affordable Care Act has improved their lives.
Check out our favorite moments below—then watch the livestream from our rally here.
