We want the same thing we've wanted for the last 8 years, the removal of the medically unnecessary 3-day waiting period. This Wednesday, the Joint Health Committee meets again. We know the vote will happen soon. They must Hear Us Now when we say The 3 day wait must be removed!

Collaged illustration of a person with a teal pattern over their black skin shouting "removal of the 3 day waiting period!" The person's eyes and mouth are pink and from a different head, they are also much larger. The speech bubble is triangular and contains arrows in pink, purple, teal and yellow. The font within is a ransom style in black and white. Above the person's head it says "what do we want?" with the ARC logo at the top.
