Caring Across Generations

Right now, Congress is pushing forward with a plan to cut nearly a trillion dollars from Medicaid. We won’t let that happen.

 

Medicaid is not a line item in a budget – it’s a lifeline for millions of families across the U.S. That’s why we’re bringing together caregivers, care recipients, and care advocates for a 24-hour vigil at the U.S. Capitol where we’ll share the real stories of the people impacted by Medicaid. The entire event will be livestreamed on YouTube.

 

Here’s the plan:

  • The event will start with a rally, featuring leaders and advocates across the care movement, from 1 pm to 2 pm ET on Wednesday, May 7.
  • From 2 pm ET Wednesday through 12 pm ET Thursday, care advocates from around the country will share their stories.
  • The event will end with another rally from 12 pm to 1 pm ET on Thursday, May 8.

 

You can stop by for as long as you’d like.

This event will be wheelchair-accessible. ASL and CART interpretation will be available throughout the event.
