Please See This URGENT Action Alert from ANCOR
This morning marks the official kickoff to ANCOR’s National Week of Action to #SaveMedicaid, and I hope you will make time to join us this week in urging Congress to protect vital Medicaid-funded I/DD services.
As Congress continues to consider legislation that could make deep cuts to Medicaid, your federal legislators need to hear from you! The U.S. House of Representatives will be voting on a bill this week that directs a congressional committee to make cuts of at least $880 billion—such drastic cuts would almost inevitably lead to reductions in community-based services and longer waiting lists for I/DD services.
The time to ensure our voices are heard is now! This week, it is critical that your members of Congress understand how harmful reductions to Medicaid funding would be for people with disabilities and their ability access to community-based supports.
Every day this week, we will be sending you one simple way to take action. What you can do to lend your voice to this effort TODAY is complete and share ANCOR’s action alert to tell your members of Congress to protect I/DD services and oppose any cuts to the Medicaid program.

If you’ve already completed the action alert and are looking for more ways to bolster your advocacy, I invite you to check out ANCOR’s brand-new Medicaid Resource Center, as well as our recently updated Advocacy Toolkit.
Thank you for using this week to take action to #SaveMedicaid and the critical services it funds!
Sincerely,
Barbara Merrill
Chief Executive Officer
