"Denied:The Crisis of America's Uninsured Exhibition" |
Program Contribution |
To support the "Denied: The Crisis of America's Uninsured Exhibition," that will travel to 12 venues over eighteen months. Last year, the Foundation supported a book of the same title which examined the impact of having 41 million American's go without health coverage. The publication and exhibition have been created to shed light on this crisis in a format that can have an impact on audiences throughout the nation. The exhibition will serve as a focal point where health care advocates can convene people to discuss the issues. The outreach strategies will include the following activities: conducting outreach to health care providers who will host the exhibition; partnering with organizations to build a tour schedule; developing an educational campaign; sharing resources; hosting "speak outs" for uninsured people; developing press packages, developing OpEd pieces; and Talking Eyes Media staff will participate in public programs at local venues. The ultimate goal of "Denied" is to mobilize people so that they can claim the right to basic health care in America.
