Today, U.S. House Republicans passed a bill that would cut trillions including Medicaid. It would affect millions of Americans. We must act NOW. Call your representatives. Write to them. Demand that they protect Medicaid & disability rights. We will not be ignored.
 We will not be silenced.
This image is an advocacy poster with a strong call to action regarding Medicaid. It features two black-and-white photographs: one of a woman using a wheelchair and a ventilator, and another of her as a smiling child. The background has a gradient of pink and purple hues. The bold, distressed white text at the top reads:
"NOW IS THE TIME FOR ACTION!" Along the right side, in vertical black text, it says:
"SAVE MEDICAID" The visual contrast between the adult and childhood images emphasizes the importance of Medicaid in providing continuous care and support. The message is urgent, advocating for policy action to protect Medicaid services.

Look at the faces of the 17 AGs suing to dismantle Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act in the case of Texas v. Becerra. Section 504 ensures equal access to education, employment, healthcare, & public spaces for people with disabilities. Flood their lines. Demand they drop this lawsuit immediately.
The image is a political-style graphic featuring 17 portrait photos of different individuals, who are identified as state attorneys general. The text at the top reads: **"Meet The 17 Attorney State Generals Attacking 504 Disability Rights"** The words "Attacking 504" are highlighted in red, drawing attention to the issue. At the bottom right, there is a call to action that says: **"Swipe for Names & Phone Numbers"** Accompanied by a phone icon and an arrow pointing to the right, suggesting that more information is available in a subsequent slide. The overall tone of the image suggests it is criticizing these 17 state attorneys general for actions related to disability rights, particularly Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which protects individuals with disabilities from discrimination. This image is an advocacy graphic calling for action to protect **Section 504** of the **Rehabilitation Act**, which protects disability rights. At the top, the text states: **"Disability Rights Attacked!"** with red warning icons on both sides. The main message in bold reads: **"Protect 504"** with a raised fist symbol, commonly used in activism. Below, there are silhouettes of diverse individuals, including people with disabilities, emphasizing inclusion. A red banner in the middle urges action: **"Flood the lines!"** **"Demand Texas vs. Becerra Be DROPPED NOW!"** On the sides, smaller text encourages: - **"Call NOW!"** - **"Speak Up!"** At the bottom, the text mentions **"17 State Phone & Email List"**, alongside a **QR code**, likely linking to contact information. The image is clearly a call to action, urging people to protest against a legal case (Texas vs. Becerra) that is perceived as a threat to disability rights under **Section 504**.

We must stand up figuratively and be a voice! We are not a "threat."
#disability
on a black background, it says in white text, The President using terms like “Psychologically Superior” is extremely ableist and he’s equating disabled lives and equitable diversity hires to “lowering standards” in the work place. Disabled people are rarely in positions of power and when we are we are often viewed as a threat.
