Save Medicaid from Massive Cuts
Medicaid is on the chopping block, and we need you to contact your Members of Congress now.
Congress wants to make extreme cuts to domestic spending, including up to $880 billion for Medicaid. While it is unclear how Medicaid programs will be cut, it is clear that cutting Medicaid funding this severely will cause millions of Americans to lose access to medical and long-term care, as well as specialized benefits like housing support.
We need to urge Congress to protect Medicaid from deep cuts so we can support the health of every member of our communities, including people experiencing homelessness.
3 Key Ways to Advocate Today:
Call your lawmakers’ D.C. offices.
- The Capitol Hill switchboard is (202) 224-3121. A switchboard operator will connect you directly with the House or Senate office you request. Don’t know what to say? Please use this script or change it to convey your own message. Remember to provide your name and address so the staff know you are a constituent, take you seriously, and will send you a written response.
- “As your constituent, I am concerned about the extreme cuts to Medicaid funding proposed in the FY25 budget. I strongly encourage [Representative or Senator Name] to oppose any cuts to Medicaid, as they will have a drastic and devastating impact on the people experiencing homelessness in my community.”
Send a personalized email to your lawmaker’s office.
- If you already have a staff contact or email address for your Member of Congress’ office, please email them directly instead of using the form. Lawmakers are more likely to pay attention to emails directly from their constituents that include personal details, rather than form emails. Create your own e-mail using the information provided in this message, customize it with specific details on potential impact for your organization and community, and email it directly to your Member of Congress’ offices.
- Please be sure to provide your name and address so the staff know you are a constituent, take you seriously, and will send you a written response.
