PNHP is an organization that is run by and for its members. Dues and individual contributions support our staff and activities, but the bulk of PNHP’s work is done locally by thousands of committed activists like youself.

There are many ways you can help the movement for single-payer national health insurance. PNHP activists have a wide array of individual talents and experience, and we encourage you to find your niche as a single-payer activist. We are happy to assist with a large variety of projects, e-mail organizer@pnhp.org for more information.
