Across the country, parents are standing up and speaking out to tell Congress: Hands off Medicaid! And we need YOUR VOICE!

Take action NOW by writing a letter to the editor to tell Congress: Hands off Medicaid! *Don’t stress - We’ll make it easy! We’ll give you a draft letter and all the talking points you need!

What’s happening? 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.

People are speaking out against these cuts all across the country! Today, MomsRising is joining with partners on Capitol Hill for a 24-hour vigil to read stories about the importance of Medicaid and what will happen if this critical program is cut. In addition, people just like you and me are participating in a day of action to protect Medicaid by taking many actions on the ground, via phone, and online—that’s where you come in. We’ve made it super easy for you to participate in this day of action by writing a letter to the editor!

Raise your voice to protect Medicaid by submitting a letter to the editor to your local newspaper!

This is a critical moment in the fight to protect Medicaid. Next week, Congressional Republicans will continue to work on their budget in committees, and their current plan is to slash Medicaid funding in order to fund tax cuts for billionaires and corporations. We can’t let this happen!

MomsRising volunteers have been taking action on Medicaid by signing petitions, sharing stories, dropping off storybooks, and making calls to Congress. We are so proud and grateful for the work MomsRising members are doing to speak out to protect Medicaid! Now, raising your voice in your local newspapers is the next high impact action you can take to amplify your support of our nation’s kids and families. We make it super easy for you by providing a sample letter, talking points, and even an automatic way to submit it. 

Will you join me in writing a letter to the editor to your local newspaper to speak out against cuts to Medicaid? Click here to get started—you can even edit the pre-drafted letter to add in your own personal story!

Millions of people use Medicaid to care for themselves or their loved ones, so we must protect its funding for our families, communities, and our future! Thank you for being in this fight with us to do what is right and just.
