February 09/2019

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION

Join Blake Cooper Griffin and SameSide at Alliance Culver City for a very special kickboxing class. After the cardio kickboxing class, taught by SameSide's Sarah Whitman, enjoy a mimosa and some nibbles while taking action for affordable healthcare. Blake will lead you through the activism as we write letters to Congress and create digital assets to say that healthcare is a universal, not a partisan issue. Everyone needs healthcare, and we need to come together to pass legislation to create affordable and accessible healthcare in America.
