When you add your voice to the numbers of members, you are growing the Archimedes Movement. Then, if you become a donor you create opportunities for us to change this debate - allowing us to find and mentor leaders in local communities who can turn and engage others in the health reform debate. Your support gets our message in front of local, state and national leaders, leveraging policy-makers to understand and make the changes we need. You - working with our core group of staff - support all of these activities - education, mobilizing and taking actions.
In addition to becoming a member, consider a contribution to help the organization bring together people like you, who can demand positive and long-lasting change in how we approach health and the health care system. If you give $5, $20, $35 or more, you are making change possible.

Yes, together we can reform our ineffective health care system and replace it with an effective new one. The Archimedes Movement was founded in 2006 by former Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber MD with these ideas in mind. He is recognized as a national expert and leader in health care policy, and he carries a powerful message; one that resonates with people across political, economic, age, and other demographic strata.
"The responsibility to fix this system, to bring about the reforms we all know are necessary, does not belong to someone else, it belongs to us, to you and to me and to citizens in communities throughout this state and throughout this nation. This is something we can do, and it's something we must do." – John Kitzhaber, M.D.

Yes, there is power in numbers. We know that there is power in education, power in the spoken word, power in numbers, power in organizing in our communities, power in understanding the need to respond, and power in understanding the financial consequences of not responding. You make a difference!
In order to drive fundamental change, we need everyday people to step up and learn to be extraordinary leaders in their own communities, networks and associations. Your membership helps us to accomplish that goal. – Liz Baxter, Archimedes Movement
Yes, We Can Do Better. We may be small, but what we are doing – engaging each other in important discussions about what the future will hold in terms of health and health care - is mighty and powerful. We can't look to someone else to fix this for us. The first step is becoming a member of the Archimedes Movement.
"Never underestimate the power of a small group of committed people to change the world. In fact, it is the only thing that ever has." – Margaret Mead
