3. Booker and Lewis started a Facebook Live to talk about Trumpcare and what this moment means for America.

4. I didn't know that it was happening when I walked up to the Capitol. I work with

@CoryBooker@SenJeffMerkley@ChrisMurphyCT@SenGillibrand &@brianschatz, five fighters, passing around an iPhone. Whoa! Hi, Senators!pic.twitter.com/QYguygJaGJ -
8. Maybe 20 people were sitting around them. They were telling stories about health care, laughing, answering questions. Felt like a picnic.
-
9. I sat down. Realized I was sitting on the jacket of
@SenBobCasey, who I realized was sitting next to me. Oops! Hi! Wow! Is this real? -

19. People told their stories. A refugee diagnosed with cancer weeks before her graduation, alive now thanks to Medicaid.
-
20. A child of immigrants, born with a rare disease, now healthy and an organizer fighting for justice for all—preexisting conditions or no.

21. People asked how they could fight. We shared ways to do it. Come protest at the Capitol this week. Protest at local offices. Make calls.
