The Arc of the United States is searching for stories from people we support and families about the importance of Medicaid-funded services and why cuts to Medicaid are a threat to your way of life. Share them so they can present these stories to Congress.
On March 24, disability advocates from across the country will meet with members of Congress in Washington, DC. Canโt be there in person? You can still participate from home by sharing your story!
If Medicaid, public education, or disability programs have affected your life, share your story. https://bit.ly/4aH1U1T
Weโll deliver your message to members of Congress during our Hill Day meetings.
The more stories we have, the bigger the impact we can make.
The campaign is a collective push for members of The Arc New York's community and chapters across the state to place at least 5,000 calls to legislators before the end of the month, urging them to support people with I/DD in the NYS budget.
