Join us as we head to D.C. to meet with Sens Capito and Justice to tell them how important Medicaid is to our state.

Yesterday we gathered at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma with thousands of others to celebrate and memorialize those who marched and endured violence in the fight for voting rights for all.
Sixty years later we recommit ourselves to the fight so that everyone can vote freely, fairly and safely.
