The rally will call on elected officials to protect the Affordable Care Act and access to affordable health care.

ST. PETERSBURG – U.S. Reps. Charlie Crist and Joe Kennedy III will be the keynote speakers at a #ProtectOurCare rally.

The Congressmen will be joined by local residents and healthcare advocates to call on elected officials to protect the Affordable Care Act and Floridians’ access to affordable healthcare – fighting attempts to undermine protections for those with pre-existing conditions, holding “Big Pharma” accountable for rising prescription drug prices, and calling on Florida to expand Medicaid.

The rally is scheduled for noon Tuesday (Aug. 7) at Williams Park, 350 Second Ave. N in St. Petersburg. For information about the event, go to facebook.com.

Crist, a Democrat, represents Florida’s 13th Congressional District, which includes south and mid-Pinellas County. For information, go to crist.house.gov.

Kennedy, also a Democrat, represents the Fourth Congressional District in Massachusetts. For information, go to kennedy.house.gov.
