If we were to name a campaign for this fall (which would include the goals to sign people up for more health care, to combat the use of "screening" techniques to profile sex workers in health care settings, to start an emergency medical fund for sex workers, and to educate more sex workers on free/low cost health care options), what would we call it?

Here are some ideas:

Stop Health Gaps 
Bridging the Gaps
Access for All  
Access Not Obstacles 
Breaking Health Barriers
We Have Your Back

What do folks think?

Hurray! I like Access Not Obstacles because it (a) reflects the fact that this campaign would involve both advocating FOR certain improvements and AGAINST existing problems in the health care setting and (b) also kind of mirrors our focus group report title. Breaking Health Barriers is also good, because alliteration is always catchy. Yay!

I like Access Not Obstacles too. Do we think it's too much like Access to Condoms?

Another option might be No Obstacles to Health campaign.

Other ones I am considering (Dacia said have a negative in the title sometimes confusing people, a la No Condoms):

Open Care (intentionally vague, like the Compassionate Care campaign for marijuana)
Care Equity Campaign
Health Justice 
Campaign for Care (which I like a lot, cause it's broad and can be used across the spectrums)

Yeah I like it too, but it's def. too close to Access to Condoms and doesn't have a clear affirmative.  

Ok, some more:
Care Without Obstacles Campaign
Health Without Obstacles Campaign
Health Care Now Campaign
Care and Support Campaign
Safety in Care Campaign
