Send a letter to the editor to say: Hands off Medicaid!

Right now, Congress is debating a budget that would cut $880 billion from Medicaid—a health care program that is a lifeline for over 72 million Americans. This critical program helps families stay healthy and financially stable, and it also gives important support to the doctors and hospitals we ALL depend on. A massive cut like this would be devastating to our families and communities and it would take away the ability for millions of people to access comprehensive, affordable health care. This is a critical moment in the fight to protect Medicaid!

Take action NOW by writing a letter to the editor to tell Congress: Hands off Medicaid!

QUICK SIGNATURE Protect Medicaid for People with Disabilities!

Earlier this month, the Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives passed a budget resolution that would cut at least $880 billion in Medicaid funding through 2034—which would affect 72 million Americans who rely on this program for their health insurance. Currently, Medicaid covers 15 million Americans with disabilities nationwide, providing essential health coverage and life-changing support services that help them live independently and thrive in their communities.

In Case You Missed it: Watch our April Community Meeting: Hands Off Our Care and Our Vote

Last month, we held our April 2025 Community Meeting Hands Off Our Care and Our Vote, featuring experts and special guests who shared insider information on how we can take action and advocate effectively for our families and communities. On this webinar, we learned how Trump’s $4.5 trillion tax plan would put essential programs like Medicaid, Social Security, and Head Start at risk; how the SAVE Act will impact our right to vote; and how, together, we can take meaningful steps to protect our communities, our essential programs, and our rights!
