Dear Douglas,

Help us Defend Medicaid tomorrow, February 6th, 2025.

Tomorrow, during the Medicaid Day of Action, join us in contacting our Congress members and imploring them to oppose the Medicaid funding cuts that stand to threaten the lives millions of citizens. Your voice is powerful!


Why are the proposed cuts an issue? Over 80 million Americans rely on Medicaid for access to home and community based support, housing, critical healthcare, and medications that they otherwise would not be able to afford. These people include children, seniors, individuals with disabilities, and veterans that need your help to remain healthy, stable, and housed.


What is happening to Medicaid? Currently, changes to Medicaid are being considered that, if put into place, will drastically cut funding, access to healthcare, and the jobs of those in the healthcare industry in favor of tax cuts. A cut to Medicaid will be a severance between millions of Americans and their biggest lifeline.

What can you do to help?

  1. Call Your Congress Members – Dial (866) 426-2631 to contact your Congress Members. Scripts to help you effectively communicate can be found at Canto or ANCOR.
  2. Email Your Congress Members – Visit ANCOR or Access Living to find tools to help you effectively compose a message to your Congress Members.
  3. Please share this alert widely – family, friends, co-workers, and local officials can help amplify this message. We must push back against actions that threaten the lives of millions of Americans who rely on Medicaid.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR IMMEDIATE ACTION!
