The #ADA was won by people with disabilities who demanded justice and refused to be ignored. #ADA35

Witty signs don’t take away the harm. But they do bring joy. And joy is resistance.

We won’t accept tax breaks for billionaires. We won’t accept ripping health care from 16 million people. @sanders.senate.gov #ProtectMedicaid

Being poor is the hardest job. @pressley.house.gov
It’s our job to not make it harder by stopping cuts to #Medicaid, #Medicare, the #ACA and #SNAP

Taking them at their word, they want to take #Medicaid from low-income older women most of whom left the workforce to provide caregiving. #ProtectMedicaid

Republicans pushing to add work requirements to #Medicaid say they are targeting nonworking "able-bodied" adults. Here's who that is:
4/5 are women
1/4 are age 50+
50% are age 40+
1/4 live in a rural area
Most are caregivers

Without Medicaid, our communities would be incomplete because people with disabilities would not be part of our communities. #MedicaidVigils #ProtectMedicaid

We are here bearing witness for 24 hours. As @aijenpoo.bsky.social said, we shouldn’t have to be here. But we are.
We are doing everything we can to #ProtectMedicaid.

Medicaid isn't a line item in a budget–it's a lifeline for older adults, people with disabilities & our communities. That’s why we'll be joining a 24-hour #ProtectMedicaid vigil at the U.S. Capitol to share our stories & make our voices heard. Join us! go.caringacross.org/a/dc-medicai...

KFF with data on how many people with #Medicare get help from #Medicaid to meet their health and long-term care needs.
P.S. A cut to Medicaid is a cut to Medicare.

Medicaid funds home care for aging parents, supports special education services for kids and keeps hospitals running. Protect your family and your community. Tell Congress to put #FamiliesOverBillionaires and Vote “NO” to any Medicaid cuts. Call Today: 866-426-2631.

New @NPWF & @justiceinaging research shows slashing #Medicaid by $880 billion over the next decade is equivalent to cutting nearly 4.8 million seniors off of Medicaid each year. See how many seniors & older women in your state could have their coverage taken away. npwf.info/3D7S8cs #HandsOffMedicaid

Just counting the ways cuts to Medicaid will hurt older adults! Three out of every ten dollars spent by the Medicaid program support care and access for Medicare beneficiaries. #SaveMedicaid
