Meg Bohne is a Campaign Organizer working on Consumers Union’s health care reform campaign. Formerly of CU’s San Francisco office, she has recently hopped coasts and is now based out of Yonkers.

A community activist, advocate and organizer since 2000, Meg has worked on issues spanning consumer protection, the environment, higher education funding, senior issues, prescription drug safety, and health care reform.
Meg started out working with the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), a student-run nonprofit group based at college campuses throughout New York State, as a campus organizer at SUNY Stony Brook and eventually as a supervisor of seven campus chapters.

In California, Meg shifted the focus of her advocacy work to health care, working on reform efforts, prescription drug and Medicare Part D issues with nonprofit groups Health Access California and the Congress of California Seniors.

Having joined up with Consumers Union to work on national health care issues, Meg wound up on the endeavor of a lifetime traveling the country as the spokesperson for the Cover America Tour. For four months, Meg went from coast to coast with two colleagues interviewing Americans about their experiences with the health care system. 17,000 miles later, she remains as impassioned as ever in the fight for safe, affordable health care for everyone.
