In the lead up to the election, like many Americans, we’ve been very distraught. There has been so much division, voter suppression and opposition to democracy. What can we do as an agency to make a difference? Luckily we made a connection to MomsRising.org. Mom’s Rising is a bottom up, grassroots progressive organization that is doing wonderful work to enact political change on behalf of women and moms. Working with their leadership on strategy, we pulled together a day of interviews with local moms and their kids and were blown away by the heartfelt, thoughtful statements they made on camera. We ended up making 7 spots out of the material, 4 of which went to their campaign to reach 3 million low propensity mom voters in swing states. We have these 3 additional powerful spots that we are promoting between now and the election. The first, Bullies, features Lily, 11 years old who wrote it herself and delivered it to camera unscripted, making a powerful statement for kids everywhere. We’ll share the other 2 spots over the next few days. Please keep the faith in these remaining 8 days! And please share widely if you are so inclined. Thank you!

*HEALTHCARE SYSTEM STORIES NEEDED*

At emo, we are looking to cast real people with real stories from all around the US who have experienced significant obstacles in healthcare that affected their lives. Our goal with this piece is to make a change in the US healthcare system and for that, we need to find compelling stories.

Criteria will be people who fit the following topics:

1) Data portability - data privacy issues or issues by not having quick access to your healthcare data. Ex:
-Dr.s don’t have information to track a new patient's info, how to handle a new patient with no data.
-Drug interactions, wrong prescription because the patient wasn't able to tell the physicians what prescriptions they are taking.

2) Finance - issues understanding the price for service, estimates & financial obligations

3) Recovery - people that had issues after an interaction with the health care system (such as a surgery) where there was no follow up, no patient tracking post event. Ex:
-No follow up with the doctors after surgery and problems that came after that.

PM us if you have a story to tell and you want to be part of the change! Thank you!
