Hello everyone, I’m passing along a FAQ / Toolkit compiled by our Policy Director Erin Prangley on what the current Congressional fight over the debt ceiling means to DD Councils. This resource contains an explanation of not only potential
ramifications, but a wealth of additional resources to help make your voice heard.
The section below is from CCD, both related and timely, amplifying because of its importance. Message begins:
[ Join CCD and partners this Wednesday, May 24th from 4:30-5:30 eastern for a virtual #SaveMedicaid rally. As you know Medicaid is an essential program that 88 million Americans rely on for their health care, including 54 million older adults, children,
and people with disabilities – but it’s at risk.
Disability and older adult advocates and Members of Congress, including Senator Bob Casey, will share how we can protect it! Hosted by: the Consortium for Constituents with Disabilities (CCD), Disability and Aging Collaborative (DAC),
The Arc, Autism Society of America, and Caring Across Generations. ASL and CART will be provided.
Register to join the event and use the
#SaveMedicaid online rally planning toolkit to share with your networks. ]
