In 2017 the Affordable Care Act was under attack nationwide. Field First partnered with 1199 SEIU and Health Care for All to build the ACA Defenders, a decentralized grassroots phone program built to push back against Trump’s efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act. The ACA defenders grew into a powerful defense tool, leveraging the power of more than 850 health care activists to generate more than 5,500 calls to members of Congress to save the ACA.
