Before I just want to remind you that we are now producing new bonus

content and a weekly wrap-up show for everyone who supports the podcast on Patreon.

You can go to Patreon.com slash Amped Up

and for as little as five dollars a month,

you'll get two new bonus videos and bonus shows

with me and my producer Rob a week. Thanks again for supporting the podcast.

Welcome to Amped Up. This is your host Ryan Knight and our guest today is

Laura Fielding. Laura is the founder of Red Berets for Medicare for All,

a board member for Whole Washington,

and an organizer.

Laura, welcome to Amped Up.

Thanks Ryan.

Thanks for having me.

I'm so excited.

I'm so excited to have you on too.

I follow you on Twitter and you're such a joy to follow and I love the light that you bring to your organizing into your activism

and it's a tough time out there right now so it's nice to have you know bright souls

out there like you who are doing everything you can to make a difference.

So I'm honored to have you on the show today.

Can you start off and just share a little bit with my audience about your work with whole Washington and how

organizing for Medicare for all on the state level actually amplifies the fight

for Medicare for all on the national level.
