"36 years ago, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law, promising that individuals with disabilities have the right to access community-based supports. But community living is only possible if we continue to fight for these rights. Will you join us this July to keep up the pressure on Congress to protect the community-based services that make it possible for people with disabilities to live and thrive in our communities?

Essential community-based services are being attacked. The Medicaid cuts passed through the budget reconciliation bill last year are underway, and the administration continues to devalue community-based services, the role of family caregivers, and the very disability rights the ADA protects. With discussions of a new reconciliation bill underway in Congress, critical supports for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities could be at risk." --

Please consider using this advocacy tool to tell your members of Congress to protect home and community-based services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) by rejecting further cuts or harmful changes to Medicaid.

Tell Congress: Protect Medicaid From Further Cuts | ANCOR Medicaid is a lifeline for people with I/DD. After suffering the largest cut in funding since its creation with the passage of the budget reconciliation law last year, the future of critical home and community-based services (HCBS) continues to be under threat.
