1/ Today is @woodra& #39;s birthday.

She is not only my friend, but a powerhouse health care advocate and most importantly, one the greatest mothers I have ever met.

In fact, when I picture Rebecca in my mind, her daughter Charlie is always on her shoulders. True story. https://twitter.com/SSWorks/status/1138915377650589696">https://twitter.com/SSWorks/s...
2/ I met @woodra in DC during summer of 2017, while we were both fighting to #SaveTheACA & #Medicaid.

I felt like a fish out of water. I was not local to DC, driving a 5-6 hour round trip each day & far below the income level of my fellow advocates.

I couldn& #39;t quite fit in.
3/ One day, our group split off into pairs to deliver materials to Senate offices & I was paired w/ Rebecca for the first time.

She made a comment about her credit score and I think I responded with something like, "Wait, you& #39;re poor, too??" https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😆" title="Smiling face with open mouth and tightly-closed eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with open mouth and tightly-closed eyes">

I no longer felt so alone.
4/ Rebecca spends her days and nights taking care of Charlie while fighting for the health care of EVERYONE.

She is a fierce advocate for #MedicareForAll & I am proud to know her and call her a friend. https://twitter.com/woodra/status/1169934556683821056?s=19">https://twitter.com/woodra/st...
