🚨 Urgent Call to Action! 🚨![]()
![]()
The House of Representatives has recently passed a budget framework that threatens to slash Medicaid funding and cut at least $715 billion from our health care system. These cuts would have devastating consequences for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), potentially stripping away access to vital supports that allow individuals to remain in their communities.![]()
![]()
These are not just numbers—they represent real people whose independence and well-being are at stake. We must act now to protect Medicaid and ensure that these harmful cuts are rejected.![]()
![]()
Tell Congress: Protect Medicaid and reject these harmful cuts. Your advocacy and commitment to safeguarding community-based services for people with I/DD are crucial.![]()

Thank you for standing up for those who need our support the most. Together, we can make a difference. 💪![]()
