Cancer could not stop her activism but Trump’s ACA repeal could
You can also find previous episodes on YouTube here.
Over the last few weeks, we have been discussing the Affordable Care Act and health care in America, in sort of an antiseptic manner. Today we will discuss it first as personalized by a friend, a millennial, and a fellow activist, Eleanor Goldfield, who has had to work within the current system as it stands. She had an upfront seat from her cancer diagnosis to her remission over the last two years. We will then discuss the changes we must fight for to make our system better and humane.
Eleanor Goldfield is the Founder & Host at Act Out, Founder / Senior Consultant at Art Killing Apathy and Founder, singer, writer at Rooftop Revolutionaries. She is an all around social justice, economic justice, and racial justice political activist.
Eleanor is not letting her ordeal deter her from her activism. After all, in the times of Trump one cannot rest on one’s laurels. She has written the new book titled, Paradigm Lost. Eleanor blogs at ArtKillingApathy.com.
