Keynote speaker: Michael Lighty is considered a preeminent spokesperson and expert on Medicare for All. For over 25 years, Lighty has organized, written, and spoken on this subject. He is currently a lead policy analyst for a single-payer bill, S.B. 562, the Healthy California Act. From 1994 until 2018, Michael worked for the California Nurses Association/NNU, where he coordinated campaigns for an HMO patients’ bill of rights, “clean money” elections, and nationally for a Robin Hood Tax on Wall Street. Lighty was the first openly-LGBTQ Commissioner for the Port of Oakland.
