Co-sponsored by St. Margaret’s Racial Justice Task Force and Faith in Action Committee
Join us for our forum, when we will hear from experts about the policy, legal and personal implications of medical debt and how we at St. Margaret’s can take swift action to lift this burden from our neighbors most in need in DC and neighboring counties. The discussion will feature Eva Stahl, VP for Public Policy & Program Management at RIP Medical Debt, the nonprofit that has abolished $10.4 billion of US medical debt; and representatives from Tzedek DC, a legal aid agency that helps DC residents with legal problems arising from debt and Temple Sinai of Washington DC, which recently concluded a successful medical debt relief campaign. Our Rector, the Rev. Richard M. Weinberg, will reflect on how medical debt relief is theologically grounded and aligned with St. M’s racial justice values.
