We’re on Capitol Hill today to tell Congress: we need care, not cuts! #SaveMedicaid

“While advocates are calling for more care, we’re here calling for no cuts to care.” Our @NJorwic explains why cuts and work requirements on #Medicaid are unacceptable! #SaveMedicaid

“When you’re talking about a cut that big, the first place it’ll hit are programs like home- and community-based services.” @NJorwic explains how the proposed debt ceiling bill will impact families like hers. We can’t afford to make cuts to aging and disability care services!

We should tax billionaires, NOT make cuts to care! 👏🏽 👏🏽 @4TaxFairness

“A functioning democracy invests in the very programs these extremists are trying to cut” - Mary Novak, @NETWORKLobby.

Naveed Shah from @commondefense explains how these cuts would impact veterans and their families. We all deserve care and cuts— care programs like Medicaid and SNAP are not options!

This is a default for America bill and it’s irresponsible and careless, says @rosadelauro! We can’t let them hold our care hostage in a fight over the debt ceiling. #CareNotCuts

“We have an opportunity to create a national movement.” @rosadelauro is right! We have to put on the pressure and tell our leaders: we won’t accept cuts to care!

“It would be the biggest cut to non-defense programs in this country’s history.” This bill is unacceptable, and we’ll continue to fight for care! 👏🏽@rosadelauro

“What we need is care not cuts, a moral budget. What Speaker McCarthy has put in front of the house is the opposite.” @Voice4HumanNeed

This bill is a bad deal for families and a good deal for the richest corporations, says @mboteach from @nwlc. “Woman and families are not political leverage for a manufactured crisis!” 👏🏽

Lauren Reliford from @Sojourners shares a powerful personal account about what this “war on the poor” is really about and why she’s calling for care not cuts. Work requirements for SNAP and programs like #Medicaid don’t work!
